My 87 9kT has 190K and still going strong...

Is yours making strange noises or producing weak boost on the gauge? If not, it ain't broke, so don't fix it! Even if the boost is weak, it's probably NOT the turbo, but the control systems or the ducting. The housing seals can leak pressure which shows as stains around the joints, but this seems to be normal as mine has been this way since perhaps 60k miles. I'd be concerned about leaks of oil or coolant around the unit as this would preclude possible bearing failure from lack of lubrication or cooling.
Hope this helps...
