You can't ask why they shit their rods on specific turbos as no one forensically analyses the causing. However you can theorise that the way a td04 is built for higher rpm power and is relatively 'laggy' on an XUD they have a sharp rise in torque and power over a relatively small part of the rev range and that could be a reason why
However I think most people that pooped a rod have said they weren't anywhere near the throttle or were just cruising at lower rpm
I think its a bit of a roll the dice kinda thing
I think service history may be a factor in it. If its been kept well it would last longer
