Idle the engine! The best advice I can give - whether it be a 4 or 6 Turbo is to Idle the Engine - when you start the car - let it idle for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute before you start to drive and then do not drive it hard until the engine temp gets into the normal operating area. Upon arriving at your destination, idle the engine for about a minute before you turn it off!
By following this procedure - you and your turbo should last a LONG time - my 88 900T never had a Turbo problem - only real problem I had with the car was the automatic failing at 200K. My ex-wife blew the Turbo in our 87 900T (at 100K) by not idling the engine faithfully.
