Interesting. The same thing happened to me a few years ago (not the same defect in the turbo, just the broader concept of a defective turbo out of the box). This was a brand new turbo from Cessna (ouch) because the turbo before it self destructed in the way Skyking descrbed and sprayed metal through my front engine. That was what caused my only power loss in a 337, and my overhaul. So anyway, when we put the new engine on, remans do not come from Continental with a turbo, so we had to buy a new turbo (no core to give Main Turbo, or whomever). And that new turbo would not deliver pressure, I never did pay attention to why, because we got another one under warranty. I was thinking of mentioning this during this thread, but it seemed like such a bizzarre case that it was not worth discussing. I was wrong about that apparently...
