Robinson R66 & RR300 Engine problem

Hi, I'd love to make contact with anyone who has had issues with their RR300 turbine engine requiring major repairs before the TBO due to dust wearing out the compressor and engine.
My R66 is 700hrs and 4yrs old and I'm facing a large repair bill after my engine was stripped down for inspection after failing minimum power check limits.
Cheers
Paul

Obviously no particle separator or filter barrier on the front ! Basically the engine sucks in huge amounts of air, in your case laden with sand/ dust etc so you have sand blasted the engine !
