Well if my records are correct from my receipts the previous owner had the turbos installed 52,000 miles ago. and bank 1 turbo was rebuilt 32,000 miles ago. so bank 1 made it 20,000 miles and bank 2 has made it 52,000. Took bank 2 out to repair a small issue unrelated to the turbine housing and shaft play was minimal if not non existent.

Can I ask which turbos?

Thanks,

Would like to hear any updates or new posts on turbos and their miles / longevity.

17k on pures.

30psi since day 1

tuned by twisted tuning

Any mods to your block? Just wonder how long blocks survive on 30 psi.

I've now logged almost 40k miles on my vargas stage 2, still 0 issues with the turbos. I have everything to turn the boost up on full e85 with pi but havnt had the time or the energy to tune the car. So I'm still still sitting at 19psi and 93 octane. Wmi has been disconnected. And the car will most likely not make it back out till spring.

20psi hard drive, taiwan made RB copy . since new turbo it has oil leak (CHRA,) runs fine. OIL leak 1500KM-2000KM/L. 15000KM no issue, spool very fast

My OEM turbos lasted around 10 track sessions running 11-13 psi. The rear waste gate eventually stuck open on the track. At this point they had done around 100.000km, most of the time at 11-13psi.

My GC lites 2.0 have now lasted 10.000km, and done more than 20 track sessions at 18-19psi without problems. I have had plenty of other problems (fuel starvation, alu charge pipe leaks, burned canister, vanos solenoids etc), but none related to the turbos themselves.

Bump
Stockers lasted 40k @ 18-22psi, turbo seals went but never had wastegate rattle and always built boost but the smoke cloud was too embarassing.

Had my rod bearings done during oil pan gasket 35k miles ago fwiw
MMP3's, E85 PI, 12k miles. 25-28psi on the weekends but I drive it lightly during the week.
