RickyB Member 3 Member For: 12y 11m 28d Posted 26/05/12 03:53 AM Share Posted 26/05/12 03:53 AM (edited) How long does the turbo last on a xr6 if you thrash it. Also if you find one that's been looked after when would you expect to change the turbo then?

Heard of some being stuffed after 30 odd thou. Others are still going strong after 200. Too many factors to give a def. answer. All it takes is a blocked oil supply line to kill a turbo.

Weaponxr Donating Members 624 Member For: 14y 5m 13d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 05/06/12 03:11 AM Share Posted 05/06/12 03:11 AM There are many factors but if you keep that crappy inline filter in then expect it to last 30 to 50k. Take it out and it will last much longer. I know this from experience and a $2000 bill to fix it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80322-turbo-life/#findComment-1249530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
