Default What is the main failure mode of the K03 turbos?
I am am going to be hitting the 40k mark later this summer and I was wondering what is the most common failure mode of the K03's. I am running molybdenum in my oil and I wonder if this is going to help keep the turbos alive.

TIA,

John

I thought the K03's went out because of a oil feed line issue.

I can't wait to hear your excuse when your K03's fail.
