Sad to see this happening every couple weeks. Looks like you also have a 2014 built motor. I feel for you bro, been there..

Apparently this is happening when you're driving along at a low RPM (like 6th on highway) and then you try to gun it without downshifting past a truck or car or whatever, tuned or not. There is apparently protection for this built into the auto (i.e., basically it downshifts before allowing you to apply much power) but that can't be had in a manual. With turbo 4's that produce a lot of torque, you must downshift... well, really any car, but apparently the EB produces enough torque to rip itself apart in this situation.

That is just one scenario that has been documented. Mine blew in 3rd gear at low RPMs. I have an Auto.

His is Auto. So it wasn't because of a low rpm 6th gear pull.
