So after initally hoping it was a simple issue, turns out the turbo's are cactus.

Here's my RB Next Gen plus's after 2000 kms.

Front one has compresser blade damage and the rear has oil getting past the seal.
Yeah, that's scary. I'll be driving around with a broken turbo for the next 12 months or so while I save up for a Single Turbo conversion at Simply Tuning.

I was worried about the extra turbo lag of a ST over OEM twins, but they've had some pretty impressive results with a small single. Dyno of a N54 (not my car) with stock HPFP and no PI is attached.
