Default RE: Wren 160 explodes

Good morning (well it is in Cyprus) & happy new year. I don't want to say much more as it seems to provide ammunition for argument.
I will give a brief history of the turbine & then wait & post the outcome.
The 160 was one of two I ordered at the Jetpower show in Germany in September 2009. They are both the 160 pro versions, with Projet ECU's. One was delivered in November 2009 & the other in December 2009. Both have been back to Wren for ECU upgrades & one had a new NGV fitted.
I did not check the actual runtime on this turbine before I shipped it back to Wren & I cannot remember if it was the one I received in Nov or Dec. Both turbines will have roughly equal run times. I checked the other one & it has eight hours on it.
As I said, I will post the outcome. I do not expect to end up with a virtually new turbine at no cost, considering it is a year old.
