Oh, I dunno - I was never careful at all with my turbo in my classic 900T (1988), and it was still just fine at 247,000 miles when I traded it in. I wouldn't let concerns about a turbo that isn't misbehaving stop me from buying a car that I liked. Worst case, a turbo gives *tons* of warning before it fails. Dave Hinz
