How's the turbo on RX-8?

he didn't have the int-x.
I'd still like to know how one can blame GReddy for a blown engine when you're not using their fuel management. What remaining part from the greddy turbo is to blame, and why?

It was an HKS PF Con V Pro.
Bad hoses, missing parts, **** poor customer service. Those are what I blame Greddy on. Not to mention when I did run it with their FMU it ran like garbage. Other than that they were just peachy.
Really no conclusion. Everything was running the way it should. Could have just been a defect in the engine, but Mazda wouldn't cover it now. It's way out of warranty.
