Best Answer

Turbochargers are subject to extreme temperatures and shaft speeds (see: how Turbochargers work).

With proper operation, cool-down before shut-down, 80,000 to 100,000 miles is a decent range. Bearing wear is the normal cause of failure, resulting in widening of clearances inside the turbine compartments (air escapes past the turbine blades instead of being forced in the proper direction).

What are some items necessary to ensure long turbocharger life?

To ensure long turbocharger life the engine must not be run hard at any long periods of time. If you are under a heavy load make sure to watch how hard you are running your engine. The necessary items needed for long turbocharger life are frequent oil changes, reduce shock of the turbocharger by having lighter loads and trying to run your engine at a constent temperature.Allow the car to idle for a period before shutting off. Don't rev the engine before shutting off. Use synthetic oil. I recommend Shell Rotella synthetic 5w40.
