under normal circumstances, how long should the turbo's on a 993 last, figuring no track use. i have heard horror stories on the turbos letting go anywhere between 5000 & 55000 miles, requiring replacement. any validity here?

 

229K miles on my 97 turbo and still going

 

229k miles without major rebuild? amazing

 

The turbo on my '82 MB 300TD was blowing fine when I sold it at 254K miles. I would expect no less from a Porsche.
