Default blown turbo

well i waited for 5-6 weeks to get my turbo back from blaast. not a pleasant experience. then finally it comes. so i install the turbo on my car and cruise around town for a week or so. maybe put 100 miles on the damn thing. then i notice oil every where on the turbo and am like ---- thats not good. but im leaving for work so i figure i will deal with it later. well i finally took it off and the silver plate that to compressor housing is attached to is totally loose. so im like ----. then i look at the fins. ------- chowdered. now im leaving again tomorrow at 5am and cant send this ---- out. let alone do i want to. i am in such a rage. ive sent him a message. and i hope that we can work this out. but i seriously have my doubts from other accounts i have read about on this site. i dont know what this accomplishes but i had to vent somewhere.

thought he said 'compressor loosely bolted to backing plate' not 'backing plate loosely bolted, with bolted on comp housing'

yeah, watched video. guess he forgot to torque some ----. reminds me of the head job the mechanics have been workin on, oil pump ---- because an un-torqued, rtv'd headgasket leaked, sucked rtv, plugged oil pump. this was AFTER they replaced the shattered timing gear from the cam seizing from lack of oil. also, compression is 175-175-176-75, right to left, front to back, thanks to mr bent valve
