Default How long do the turbos last?

I dont track the car and not abusive to the car, but i do drive it spiritedly. Car is completely stock, how long do they usually last?

Turbochargers can be routinely rebuilt when their service life has been reached. I had a turbo rebuilt at around 80,000 miles. These turbos, when run with good synthetic oils, should last well beyond that.
