Re: Regular Turbo Maintenance (B18CFyghterCivic)
I change my oil every 2000 miles. Sooner if its been driven a little harder then normal. I always let the motor idle for a min after driving. I should really get a turbo timer

I always made it a habbit to check my spark plugs alot. Ruetine oil changes. Keeping an eye on all the oil lines for any leaks. Make sure you always run 93 octane (if its available in your area)

I drive it hard blow it up and rebuild it.
How often about every 3 months.
Seriously though. I check my oil before I drive it everytime to make sure it is at the correct level. Change the oil around 2000 miles. Make sure my coolant is always where it should be. Check the oil feed and return lines every once in a while to make sure nothing has come loose. Check the fuel lines to make sure no leaks. There is other things but I am heading to lunch now. I will post later.

Re: Regular Turbo Maintenance (underpressure02)
As said oil every 2000-2500 miles
Check plugs and oil regularly
Check oil lines for leaks
Look under the hood and go over engine bay and look for anything suspicious.
It's all basic justhas to be done regularly, these are the main things im sure more people will add to whats already been said.

Another thing is making sure all your lines are in good shape. Like vacum and boost. Also make sure they are all secured. You do not want to be boosting hard and pop a line off.
Also check the clamps that hold the intercooler piping on to make sure everything is good there.
But bascially just look over the motor make sure everything is A+.
I also check my lug nuts usually atleast everytime I change my oil to make sure nothing has come loose b/c the last thing you want is your tire to go flying off.
