My 5857 bb was leaking a bit but I didn't check for shaft play since it was going back to them regardless and the turbo itself looked fine. I'm waiting on it to come back. They are upgrading it to a 5858 cea ball bearing and polishing my compressor housing. $550 + $75 for the work. If it blows again I'm going to a gtx3071r .82ar

It's not like he manufacturers the flanges, either it was a defective part, or vibration of something contacting the frame has caused it to fail early.
I've honestly never seen that before, I'm sure if you bring this to his attention, he will rectify it.
I've always had great dealings with him.

there's absolutely NO way that flange would hit the rail unless:
A) your motor mount is broken or defective
B) your motor mount is broken or defective
the flange is not close to anything. the runners are though.
you have to jack up your motor on that side in order to install the manifold. did you do this? did you install the motor mount correctly afterwards?

I also have a pfab elt kit and the fitment is excellent. From your photos it doesn't seem to be from a defective kit. Most possible like others said it hit the frame or something. You did good to contact Pang to sort this out. His service is excellent
