of the stock turbocharger...
i see poeple blowing them up on msp's.... whats curious is we don't see much DSM cars turbo blowing up (i've been around alot) or others as well..
is this an illusion ?
i mean it's a garrett right? not a cheap crappy turbo...
we see some blow as early at 30 000 miles ( even less?) i mean a turbo charger is supposed to have (what i've heard) atleast 100 000 miles.. some even say it's supposed to last the life of the car (dealers version)
now if on a saab,DSM, or a volvo the turbo, IMO SEEMS to last alot longer and have less problems? what gives ?? (uhm)
is it because of the way we drive those msp's ? is it too much abuse? either way, if you accelerate in a moderately way with a volvo 850 turbo, the turbo will spool and rev at 1????? rpms and get full boost.. if we do the same with a msp , same result.
the turbo itself is watercooled and is a very good unit.. or is it?(uhm)
is it the way we maintenance the car ? the oil we use?
i let idle the car a good 3-4 minutes evertime i start it in the morning when the temp is higher than 50 degrees.. and this winter when it was freaking cold (-20 F) i would let the car idle for like 20-25 minutes. and even then the temp needle was barely up the cold line.
i let the car idle 30 sec everytime i stop the car.
i use RP oil 5W30 in winter and 10W30(40?) in summer
so good oil, good maintenance, and letting idle like it suposed to be..
so the problem is ??? can anybody shine some light on this situation? is it the turbo itself? is it the way we "use" it ? is the lack of manintenance?
please discuss
