Your asking a pretty open ended question.... Some turbos that are on stock engines placed on by the factory, can last up to about 100-150k miles. While some after market high output turbos have been known to fail or start to fail after about 50k-75k miles. It all depends on the engine, the amount of boost being run and the oiling system on it, a few more factors could be thrown in but thats about the jist of it.

You could...
1) do a search
2) look at your manual
3) kick your self in the ass before somebody else does it

Wait .......what about # 4)........Come online and hope to get an answer to an honest question in an automotive forum......It took you as long to be an asshole as it would have to answer his question.

If you can't help........it's less time consuming to just KEEP YOUR SHITTY RESPONSES to yourself.

Thats all I have to say about that.

Re: how long will a turbo last

I agree with Hodo and E Honda. Especially E Honda....I wish the guys on the Z31.com board would learn that lesson....they're the WORST about that.
