Ok, so I mentioned earlier I had a feeling others in the club were smirking behind my back about all this, and it kinda came to light today after I updated my thread over there.
I made a comment about how someone should run "allofit" boost on his WRX and he was like "I don't want my subaru to end up like your Miata" to which I replied something along the lines of "does everyone understand that this had nothing to do with my installation or tuning?"
There were a couple replies which consisted of "Remember when you had a working non-turbo miata" and "If you install parts on your car which are broken or improperly prepared then you are at least partially responsible".
I made the comment that that was like blaming someone who changed their own oil and got a batch of oil which was bad, and their pistons siezed. It's about on par with trying to say someone is to blame because their tire self-destructed while driving down the road.
Not looking for validation here, but honest opinions. There are less "armchair mechanics" here, and more people who have actually done this kinda stuff.
Not in reference to the resolution with BEGi or financial responsibility for the mishap or any of that, but am I "to blame" for this happening?

They don't understand that the failure that occurred on your turbo had nothing to do with anything you touched, or that you could control. I'm no expert but based on what you have said and my own experience taking turbos apart, the most likely cause was improper reassembly when BEGI clocked it. If they refuse to believe/understand that, what can you do?
Those guys is ams dicks. Now go out drive them

Well, it's the forum for the local area car club, that I'm on the board for lol. And most of them get it. But it's the silent majority and the vocal minority.
Also saw your new tag.

Plus, with embarassing **** like this: https://www.miataturbo.net/prefabbed...2/#post1074871
And this: https://www.miataturbo.net/megasquir...-delete-77014/
in my history, I'm sure you can figure out where they're coming from.
Like I said, there's no way in hell I could have truboed my car without this forum--even if it is filled with more dicks than a Miata driver's butthole.
