    My turbos sounded totally normal up until about 5-10 minutes before they blew.

    I knew they were going to blow, I was driving with my girlfriend and I told her we would be lucky to make it home and about 2 minutes later a large cloud of smoke excited the car:)

    I did notice a small oil leak coming from somewhere in the engine before the turho's failed, but have not found out the official cause of the failure. Will let you all know when diagnosis is done.

    FYI. I was religious about letting the oil warm up to at least 150 and always did cool down.
    Used 0W-30 and 0W-40 oil.
