Not many stories of non-chipped turbos going down, particularly after 80k miles or so.

Just Me

We;ll maintained turbos will last pretty much forever.

The other 99% (exaggeration, yes, but how much?) will fail, but not of old age.

Since these are typically damaged by lack of lubrication and/or excessive heat and pressure at the bearings, chipping should increase the likelihood of premature failure exponentially.

So I dont buy such a simplification. I watch turbos die all the time. Its usually predictable from a quick look and listen. To the owner, not the car.

add to that - how many people with the OLD, non-improved lines have had turbo failures?
