Turbo replacement with CRP billet compressor wheels

I recently had a turbo eat itself and pump metal into my intercooler on my f150. There did not seem to be any that made it to my intake, but I spent probably five hours cleaning my piping, CAC, oil lines to turbos, etc. I also filled oil and changed filter, let truck idle for 30min, and then changed them again to check filter for metal and watch for issues. I replaced the turbos with an OEM set and installed those with CRP wheels. I'd like to compliment them on there communication, fair pricing, shipping time, as well as the quality of product i received. I have driven with these for last few weeks and would like to confirm that on my truck these wheels have increased the power of my truck noticeably according to my butt dyno. I also feel like they have a little quicker response on the same tune and also will hold 20psi when OEM turbos would fall to 18psi by redline. The Iat temps without meth stay lower, and I expect I assume they are with meth as well it's just harder to judge. Anyone on fence i will say that if you are already replacing turbos then I highly recommend these at there price point. As far as my turbo that failed, I believe the failure was due to foreign material damaging the compressor wheel and causing an imbalance that wore journal bearing to point of catastrophic failure. Pics in order are of a CRP wheel after unboxing, one of the CRP wheels installed, new turbo installed, other new turbo installed, passenger side turbo that failed, and driver side turbo which also showed damage from foreign material

I have a quick pull vid on 93 tune, but I can't get it to upload.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

here is a link to a quick 20-65 test pull on my old 93 DD tune down a back alley in Tijuana. It holds 20psi and doesn't feel like it falls on its face as much close to redline.
