Gee- my 88 900 turbo engine came apart once for new headgasket and assorted seals, at 150,000 miles. After performing this and other preventative maintenance- but leaving everything else stock- I bumped the boost to 25 PSI, slapped a 3.0 BAR FPR on there, a Saab hi-po distributor, a K&N filter and a free flow 2.5" exhaust. Never rebuilt the turbo, never replaced the pistons, or even the valves, etc. I dissabled the high rev boost taper and could blow north of 20 PSI above 5,000 rpms. That engine very happily, with no complaints, went 100,000 miles without anything being done to it. so your saying 250,000 miles is unreliable? or even let's say 100,000 'extreme use' miles...
