Current 01 V6 wagon has about 180k. At about 125k had to do the turbo. Got the turbo from XBOOST (XSBOOST) on ebay. The only problem that I had was the left lower stud (looking at the car) the nut came off and not the stud. Not enough room to get the manifold off. Worked and worked at it and it was very close. Ended up trimming (Cutting the stud) as close to the manifold as possible and off it came. This would have saved me hours of fooling around to get it off. Then either replace the stud or rethread it (what I did) and has been good ever since.
One thing to note that on oil changes and pre filling the filter. Need to take time to allow the filter to fully soak in the oil. I may have not been allowing enough time for this, but the turbos will go even with perfect oil changes....
