Maintenance on a Turbo

[2000REDGT]

What type of maintenance is required on a turbo car that does not have to be preformed on an N/A car. Like daily and long term maintenance.
Thanks

Religious oil changes of no more than 3K miles and be sure to include a cool own time after you drive your car hard, let it idle for a couple minutes. Thats it. Your turbo should be reliable for up to and over 60K miles before needing any bearings changed or anything. (you can rebuild a turbo for 300-700.00). It depends on how high your boosting/intercooling etc whether any engine work needs done.

Yes, turbo timers for those who don't wanna wait.

Thanks for replying guys. I am just tring to learn as much as I can. I change my oil every 3,000 now and I am going to get a turbo timer when the time comes.

With my turbo setup I'm changing over to synthetic oil, and changing it every 2,500 miles.
