Message If you can't afford to fix what may break, no matter the part. Then anything over stock is to much. The parts are going to go someday and the car was manufactured to run and last forever or somewhat a longtime. This is why we all that mod the cars see so much more potential. When actually where all shorting the life of our weakest link. In this case anything under a greater pressure than OEM factories performance regulates with the added high miles. It's a gamble that's for sure. There's no time limit on when it's going to go. But common sense say's higher shorter life. Which goes back to, if you can't afford to fix it, might be good to not chance it.

You can do all you can to help extend the life of the turbo's by changing the oil every 3000 miles, sooner if you race. Turbo timer or manually let it run for a few minutes each time your done driving it to let the oil circulate threw the turbo's and cool them down. Keep up on the PCV valves and crankcase ventilation system, so that the pressure in the crankcase and oil track is not increased to blow a seal anywhere on the motor.
