Although given the choice btw which will fail first on a well tuned setup, a Japanese motor or Domestic turbo you can bet the turbo will fail first.
In fact, expect to go through 3-4 Garretts before the motor gets tired.  |
Not entirely true, The QR is not by any means a great motor.. particularly the ones made in mexico. My 2002 Spec went through 3 motors before I gave up. And that was no turbo. My advise, put an SR in your garage and wait.
