i've got a sanden 708 on my mazda, 2 years now and no problem, 200psi all day everyday.
Seems to me like you weren't oiling you'rs, theirs a dry sump system, fill with oil and go, their is no need for an inline oiler, it won't supply the compressor with enough oil and intern will burn up.

i had a 708 on my old mazda. there is a company that converted a smaller sanden compressor to use grease instead of oil, rudy has one on his mazda, like 380 bux, but freakin sweet.

the company uses sanden 508's. I have been researching this, and if you change one internal brass line, it will work well without an oiler. The 508 is the last sanden to use an oil resevior, the 708's are mixed and connot be converted back, you will need an inline oiler on those compressors.
Also, the most common failure point of EDC conversions is NOT the common myth of not having an inline oiler, it is exceeding the design pressure or design rpm of the compressor. THAT is what causes scorched cylinder walls. You can safely do about 175psi at about a 50% duty cycle (that means it has to be OFF as long as it was on, if it ran a minute it has to be OFF for a minute before you turn it back on) but if you run it continuously you can expect it not to live very long.
