Also if you find one that's been looked after when would you expect to change the turbo then? Edited 26/05/12 03:54 AM by RickyB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard of some being stuffed after 30 odd thou. Others are still going strong after 200. Too many factors to give a def. answer. All it takes is a blocked oil supply line to kill a turbo.

Take it out and it will last much longer. I know this from experience and a $2000 bill to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
