Original Turbos at the end of warranty

Whit45 · 03-21-2015, 09:26 PM

Well I'm at 81,925 miles on the original turbos, and everything is sounding and running fine. I plan on keeping the car for a couple more years as my weekend driver. I guess the next turbos will be on my dime if needed. Anyone out there approaching the 100k with original turbos?

I'm just at concerned as you and I'm only at 41k miles planning to keep the car forever.

Are u tuned ? Are you abusing the turbo

Stage 1+ PTF etune. Frequent oil changes, proper warm ups and cool downs, Never tracked or stripped, just logging pulls and some spirited canyon runs.

My turbos have a serious case of wastegate rattle but otherwise seem to be working fine. I thought about trying to get some new ones under warranty (my car only has 50k miles) but car is all modded out, dp's, etc so it's almost not worth the trouble trying to go back to stock and then maybe getting new turbos or maybe not. In fact, my warranty runs out this month but I think i will just let em go and if they fail, will get some upgraded vargas or RB's.....maybe even a single turbo if I can swing it......

110k
Wastegate Rattle since JB4 G5 install almost 40K miles ago. Boost perfectly, no issues at all.

Plenty of people on here with 100k + and original turbos. Got 112k tuned myself. My friend has 120k tuned.

90k miles on original turbos, about 15k of them tuned, no problems (yet, knock on wood)

Dude it's totally worth it. Just take the DPs out and ask the dealer or just go in FBO and give it a shot. The worst they can say is no lol

Stock turbos are $1200 + gaskets, hardware, and Labor. Just pull your tune and put those stock DP's on. Then you can pull them off and sell them to one of us, to help finance your ST set-up
