IMHO the gt17 turbo life span seems to be directly related to oil quality and change intervals. I have read many posts about the gt17 lasting 60K, 80K, 120K. I think the 99-01's called for synthetic blend at long change intervals. So even following the owners manual oil quality/change interval wasn't enough to keep the gt17 alive very long. I have a '00 9-5, 5 speed that never has been over 4000mi with out a full synthetic M1 change and I just replaced the gt17 at 212,000mi so they can last quite a long time. I am still on the original Throttle body but replaced the DI to the newest version. Its a tough call on how long they last.
