Poll: How long have you guys had turbo on your cars?
Basically trying to see how well turbo lasts guys -- reliability wise.
Please tell me how many miles youve had it roughly, and if youve had problems during that time. I really appriciate it -- decision time is coming up!

Re: Poll: How long have you guys had turbo on your cars? (boostedb20vtec)
yea keep posting turbo boys!
as much as people hate them, i want to go greddy turbo next summer --- but i really really want to be sure. im a college kid -- dont want huge reliability issues; and there are typically reliability issues with turbo. but i just want to run low boost and call it day (honestly) - and just want to see if this thing can make it for a while - or just do 20k miles and die.

As long as you install everything properly and take care of it, it will last you for years to come!

Bryson:
I'm interested in your driving habits, since your turbo seems to be holding up well. How often do you flog the car with hard running, etc. ?

I am in boost almost 50% of the time I drive it.....even though it maybe only 1-2psi.
I am not one however, to be bouncing off the rev limiter at every light. I do tend to drive the car like it is a precious jewel, even though I try to better my 0-60 time as often as I can.
I would say that I do about 4-6 hard pulls once a day.

One year and 12,000 miles and still going strong. I love every minute driving my civic. The only thing I hate is the constant oil consumption.
