The number one most certian thing you can do to keep a turbo buick realiable is to get a scanmaster or something to watch or knock retard. Keeping spark knock to a minimal is the key. As far as I'm conserned the weakest link in the car is the Tranny. Probabally the best thing to do for that (besides getting a beefed up 200r4 is to put a trans. cooler on the car.

Keep the kock out and run good fuel and you should be good to go.
