Also don't forget to really warm up engine before actually "load" the turbo. Oil needs to be on the critical locations at the right temp. Use the turbo gauge to check the load. With outside temp at around 60F I always drive for approx 10 minutes before building up the load (the temp gauge only shows coolant temp and not the oil!). I try to stay in yellow or only max to low orange on the turbo gauge when warming up.
Hope this will extend life of the turbo. Mine was replaced at 95,000 miles which I guess is about average (I am second owner though so maybe turbo life can be longer). Hope this helps you.
