hey i was wondering how often do turbos blow?

also what causes turbos to blow. is very hard driving continuously or what?

how much does a turbo cost to repair if you do have warranty.

thanks

but to pay out of pocket is about $5-7K

design/manufacturing flaw...3. $7000 (they have to replace them in pairs)

...engine management system, not the turbos. It is the responsibility of the engine management system to keep the turbos operating within their design parameters. It must protect the turbos from overspinning, pressure spikes, overheating...(Note: bearing failure is not necessarily caused by oil flow problems)

Turbos themselves are well understood and in use on many many engines. In fact, every "18 wheeler" you see on the highways uses turbos, and they log many many more miles than any of us.

same management sytem on the 996TT...that isn't having the same problems

management (to me) includes all the support HW (hoses and valves)

Managment an HW are different things to me
