they can be rebuilt. Don`t worry about the life of the turbo, worry about your motor.

i think a lot of stock turbos are usually around 60 k life...maybe a bit more...ive read that after 60 k you should have them rebuilt but i think you should worry more about your motor like vtecvoodoo said...most likely its gonna give out before the turbo
