With the popularity of turbos at an all time high it is a surprise we don’t see more of this. I have no idea what caused this but I can speculate and I will. I would say the best chance culprit is a knock off turbo as the big boys typically do all kind of testing so that the housings can take an impeller or turbine explosion and stay in tact. However another possibility would be some shotty welding of the pipe onto an inlet or outlet. Again I don’t know and it doesn’t really matter. Check out the testies of steel on the camera man though as hunks of turbocharger come flying right at him.
