Re: life expectancy of a turbocharger?
Mine is a 2003 Dream Cruiser with the TDO-4LR turbo. It finally let go @114,000 miles. It was the oil seal that leaked about 15 Qts. of oil on my way home to St Louis from Key West. It still ran but it looked like I fogged all of Florida and the rest of the SouthEast. Having trouble finding a replacement or repair outside of the dealerships. Not much on these forums. finally got it off and am sending it for a rebuild to Houston. Had similar situation with a 1986 T-Bird Turbo Coupe. Pretty much done with turbo's, they are fun but can be a pain if used for any length of time.
