Message	However, with buying a used turbo car, the question of much longer the turbos would last is dependent on it's care/maintenance by the car's previous owner(s). If regular maintenance, proper warm up and shut procedures were followed through out the life of the car then it's not difficult to imagine the turbos lasting to 150K. Mine is at 101K and been stage 3+ since 78K. the turbos are still running strong and I don't imagine my turbos going out for another 40-50K (at least I'm keeping my fingers crossed).
