turbo in the long run

how long to turbos last? if i were to boost my ls about how long before i start having problems with the turbo set up?

it all depends on the quality of parts you buy, the current condition of your engine, how well everything was put together… basically there is no answer to your question.

agreed, the cheaper u go out, the more chance u have of breaking something.

do it right, or leave it alone.

if it’s done right with quality parts and a proper rebuild with a good tune it can last as long as any other engine. thats considering your driving normally. now if your going to be boosting and beating the hell out of the engine well then dont expect it to last 300 000km’s like a stock engine would. it’ll last the time it last. it’s a gamble.
