frank_ster Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 if the turbo is getting enough clean oil it will last forever ! Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maclif Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I think I was "that guy" with 200k. I am going to hit 230,000 on my '06 Spec B tomorrow. It's stage 2. I was hoping to hit it before the Mayans hit but something fell through and I'm about 80 miles short. The original turbo was changed around 92k. The second one is pushing 140,000. As a note about the original turbo - I had the 100,000 bumper-to-bumper inclusive warranty. The last 10,000 miles I wrung out the car and any nut that wasn't tight I pushed to replace under warranty. I paid for it, I used it. -Clif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisS Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 150k on stock turbo, stage 1 at 30k and stage 2k at 60k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 ^ Nice... My last two LGT's both had clean banjo bolts at 90k miles. My first LGT had the turbo inspected at 115k miles and it was in great shape. My current LGT has 116k miles and holds boost fine, checked shaft play not long ago and it was fine. Keep it in good oil and it should be fine.

MAP Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Bought my LGT at 69000mi. I've used 10w40, 0w40 or 20w50 Mobil1 since then and am at 105,000 mi now. I checked my banjo filter at ~ 95kmi, it was clean. I havent checked the shaft play but I havent noticed any odd sounds from the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ25subie05 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 43k on the spec B first lgt went 114k until it starved for oil, thats when that original turbo went. frank ster is right, if they get clean, good oil, it'll last a long time.
