How longs a bit of string as to regards how long the last, when they go you will know. Great clouds of black smoke as the oil seals go the oil just goes straight through.
Say not always what you know, but always know what you say.

They are known on Landcruisers to be the most fragile part of the engine (same Turbo - CT20) however you are talking about them being the most fragile part of an engine that will go 3 or 4 times round the clock. They can break early but that really depends on how well the engine has been looked after and how often the oil/filter was changed, how it has been driven and what sort of oil was used.
whilst trawling the web the other night (id had a few tinnies so i cant remeber which) reading an owners website - mentioned he had the turbo reconned - said it wasnt faulty but while work was being done etc - said the difference was very noticable.
Anyone got an idea if cost of this - worthwhile?

Turbo technics do a complete rebuild for around £300.
