Do turbos fail frequently?
Simply put, if you DON’T cool your turbo down it can be put that it is in “the constant state of failure”. The lack of proper cooling is constantly laying down layers of carbon in the bearings and they will eventually seize. How fast and thickly these layers are deposited in the bearings depends on many variables. We have had customers tell us that they have replaced turbos anywhere from as little as 10,000 miles to as much as 100,000 miles.
