Will they go 150k plus miles with little maintenance?
I wouldn't say 150k.Their is some cases were people have pulled off 170k with a turbo,which creates more wear.You might make to 150k without a rebuild,175k,or maybe just 100k.It really depends on how the car was driven/taken care of.You' can expect a rebuild in another 40k.If you have an extra $1200,keep it around,or just rebuild the engine.
