The m57 Turbos are very robust. If you had any issues with them, it was likely due to something else.

I swapped my hp turbo after I misdiagnosed it. It was my vcg and not the hp turbo.

Reason why this topic got my attention is because I am suspecting my turbo leak issues were in some part due to potentially excessive crankcase pressure.
So, I am reading up on anything crankcase related.

New LP turbo and newish (56k miles) HP turbo were put in. Today, reassembling intercooler and intake manifold after cleaning them of oil and crud.
