This is a good question - I've only just started driving turbos, and the first thing I noticed was the battery is right up against the turbo, and the heat shield was actually touching the turbo. Is this a problem with turbos?
I used to buy junkyard batterys to save money, but lately started buying Interstate batteries because the one in my motorcycle lasted longer then other brands. Its a long term experiment - I won't know if this is true for a couple of years.
