How long should an MS3 owners expect their turbo to last if used only as daily driver, and properly maintained?

(with or without minor mods)

 

[ms3jake]

100k easy if well taken care of and no defects

How much would a stock turbo cost if I decided to replace (if necessary) by 100k? and if the turbo goes, is it a good possibility other parts need to be replaced?

 

[wisniaPl]

you can make upgrade how many miles you have now20k? dont worry about 100k until you will have 99

100k? Are you kidding? Try 40k if you lucky, by 100k you should have went thru about 3 turbos. Your dealership didn't give you the full scoop on turbo cars did they.

im pretty sure your car will last more than 40k on one turbo. just change your oil regularly and make sure you do proper warm up/cool downs and dont let your car idle for long periods of time (turbos dont like idling) and youll get 100k no prob. wtf do you do to your car to only get 40k out of the turbo....holy cow youll never borrow my ride. lol.

 

[wisniaPl]

40k wtf?? someone on this forum have 100k miles on his car i dont know if he changed turbo

[BLAZEONE]

What is the original warranty? how much did it cost to extend your warranty? and how much of an extension did you add?

 

[wisniaPl]

i pay 15 buck every month its goo if you are planning to keep car very long

 

[BLAZEONE]

So how long do you have to pay the 15?

And how long does it extend warranty? for as long as your paying 15 a month?

 

[wisniaPl]
