You're right, the larger Aero turbo's are much more reliable than the LPT Garrett's, but that doesn't mean they're fail-safe. I drove my 2001 V6 with a failing turbo for about 5k miles consuming a quart every 600 miles (idiot!) toward the end and my TB made it through the ordeal just fine... though the V6 throttle body is positioned differently. When TB's fail they're designed to go into LHM so it doesn't leave you stranded in a dangerous situation like yours did, so I don't know if that's the true source of your problem. Good luck!!
