and going strong. The car had blue smoke which turned out to be PCV problem that was fixed by initial TSB. I have a feeling that many turbos were changed under warranty because it appeared to be the problem rather than doing the PCV fix first. To get turbo longlife, recommend Mobil 1 or equivelant synthetic oil changed at 5k mile intervals.
