Turbo Longevity? 700

What's the experience by Brickboarders with turbocharger longevity? How long can they last? I have a '90 765T, (Mitsubishi TD04) turbo with 162K miles. I've changed oil and filter at 3K intervals and idle after high-speed runs prior to shutting engine off. Turbo vane show little or no wobble, and only a little spooge-oil (tablespoon?) emits from intercooler drain when checked. I'm trimming the car fleet and need to decide whether to sell the 765T or 244, taking into account future maintenance issues like a turbo replacement ($$$). thanks for any feedback,
chris in vermont
