New center section and cold side it could make it LOL
FWIW, the VNT15 and VNT17 share the same exhaust side and center section (they are actually both gt17XXv turbos). The compressor is larger on the 17 and my understanding is that it makes it less likely to overspeed but more likely to surge.
Did it give any signs of letting go or did it just go boom

I am not sure about the hot sides or the center sections being the same but I have no specs to verify that. The turbines are different for sure but for some reason I thought the hot side is also bigger. I'll report back once I get the turbo. I also have a 1749va kicking around for comparison.
