Message	These three things can make your turbos last forever: Keep the oil changed every 3K miles, preferably synthetic but just keep the oil changed. After cold start, don't boost until your car temp is to normal AND your oil pressure has dropped to normal. Don't boost during the last five minutes of your drive, let the turbos cool down before you shut the engine off. If you are the type who has to race home every nite, then buy a turbo timer.

They always break something, figure out a way to beef up the part and the benefit trickles down." Robo "Not everything that can be counted counts. Not everything that counts can be counted."
