Focus RS turbo failures
I have bought a series 1 focus rs with around 37k miles from a reputable dealer of rs's but in less than 1 day the turbo failed. They have replaced the turbo but in only a few hours the turbo has failed again. It looks like a lubrication problem to the turbo to me but I wondered if this was a common thing that points to a bigger issue that I should be afraid of, or is this an unusual thing that has a smaller non serious problem behind it?
Any advice would be appreciated to quash my fears thati am about to have to embark on a road to ruin due to the start on a long list of issues this car may have.
Cheers.

bit silly of you to put another turbo on without trying to figure out why the first one failed. is the second one still under warrenty?
probably a blocked oil feed pipe.
did the 2nd turbo fail the same as the first one. its just a possiblily ur first one failed of nautral causes and the 2nd one was a duff from the factory
