WRX stock turbo, how long will it last?
I did a few searches but came up with nothing, I know this must have been covered. Anyway what is the life expectancy of a stock WRX turbo on a totally stock WRX?
Also wouldn't it eventually be a good idea to get a new intercooler? After the fins have been abused by bugs and debree for 5 or 6 years I would imagine it would.

There's no real reason the turbo shouldn't last 100,000+ miles. In other words for the life of the car in most cases.
And a screen that keep the debris out of the intercooler is a good idea. And pretty easy to do. Mine has kept my intercooler clean and perfect for 18 months. |
