He said they probably replaced 6 ot 8 turbos last year, and almost all because of owner neglect. As long as you keep using the Mobil 1, you shouldn't have any problems.

The original owner of my 85 900T had to replace the turbo because of internal metal breakage on the turbo shaft or bearing-- after warranty, of course<g> Dick in Falls Church, VA
