Hey guys, need some advice here. I just bought another 14b turbo for my talon after my last one puked out on me after being on for about week. Heres the short version of that story: I put the turbo in, no shaft play. I replace the valve cover gasket and forgot to reconnect the vacuum line that runs from the intake manifold to the BOV. I rev the engine few times, turn it off and hear the clinking of the compressor nut as it shaves the wheels fins because the nut fell off. And it had in and out, up and down shaft play. The car was driven about 2 miles with that turbo on it before this happened (it isn't registered yet).

Anyways i am concerned about putting this new one on it because although the BOV wasn't connected for those few revs with the old turbo, would that have been enough for it to damage it so quickly? If you think NOT then what things should i go through to make sure this won't happen again. I KNOW that plenty of oil and coolant is getting to the trubo. Any insight to this would be appreciated. Let me know if there's any other info you need to know.

Thanks!
