hi all,

anyone know what is the actual life expectancy (miles) of the pt’s factory turbocharger? (assuming the oil and filter are changed approx every 3000 miles and the turbo is not too badly abused or thrashed).

Any high-mileage pts out there - still with their original turbo?
I have had a turbo that went 180K miles on the 2nd turbo and was still good when I sold the car. Using synth oil. That was the second turbo charger in that car. The first ate itself up in 40K miles using Dino oil.
