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.

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.
