Turbo questions 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Rob Hanley on  Fri Feb 2 16:00 CST 2001 [RELATED]

How much noise is a healthy turbo supposed to make? I notice that mine (original @ 140K) kind of "whines" a litle when I get to the top of a gear, right before I upshift. It's not real loud, so I haven't been too concerned. I don't mind the noise (actually, I rather I like it) but is this normal?

Any idea how much life is left in this thing? Is 140K "outrageously high" mileage for an original turbo? Paul S. posted something to the effect that the PO owner of his 245T had the turbo replaced two or three times in 200K. Yikes!! Any tips for a long life?

Thanks guys, for putting up with my endless (and pointless??) questions. ;)
