Ok guys- took 05 LGT to Chips for some routine work, and got 'the talk'. The one where he warns you that the LGT turbos tend to blow around 100K miles, and that you might end up doing the engine at the same time, might as well sell it before that happens, blah, blah...
Thing is, I know he's right. The 05 turbos have been hit or miss. It seems like a lot of folks have lost one.
So, should I consider doing a proactive turbo swap for a new Subie or aftermarket unit? Car has 66K on it now, running a Cobb Stg 1 tune. I figure a new turbo is less expensive than waiting for it to fail.
Thoughts?
