The only turbo failures that I've seen is where the owners have not maintained the car properly regarding oil changes and or where it had an aftermarket chip running the turbo at capacity constantly.

The other problem is that the level sensor for the coolant bottle will 'wick-up' coolant up into the wire harness, and if not discovered, will travel all the way into the ECM, TCM, and body control modules. I've replaced two complete wire harnesses and several computers.
