Red04 has a good point. You can't expect them to warranty it from one car to the other. I don't know of any vendor that will warranty a turbo to other than the original car. I wonder though why some of these blow up after all. Could it be they were not installed properly? There are a lot of e1's out there that don't blow up. Don't you have to "prime" the turbo with oil before the initial startup and break it in properly before running it hard? I'm planning on buying an e1 soon as well.
