I'm pretty sure Toyota increase the turbo's boost pressure in qualifying laps for their TS050 (which gives them those amazingly brutal laptimes).

When qualifying is over, it's time to reduce boost pressure so to make reliable for the entire race. I guess Toyota doesn't do that.

Even during the actual Le Mans race, Toyota seems to get the best laptimes which means they maybe still keeping the turbo's boost pressure over the limit. That won't last long with any turbocharger. It will break and cease up restricting exhaust flow.

It could be some other reason but I'm pretty sure it's the race team's fault for doing that, not the actual car. That's where Porsche succeeded, reliability just as they did 20 years ago (history repeating itself LoL).
