Turbocharger reliability 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be ken winston on  Sat Mar 6 13:53 CST 2010 [RELATED]

Hi there,
I do not ever recall seeing a turbocharger message here, so I'd like to ask about their reliability.
In particular, how reliable is the GLT (ligt pressure) turbo? I know that Klaus once respoded that these do not "break," but how long can these parts last before they fail/seize up? Wouldn't the part have to break at some standard mileage or age point, since I understand to be the turbo to be a spinning part?
Thanks, because I' dliek to buy another 850, and I was hesitant about getting aturbo model for the reasons above.
Good day,
Ken
