In my case no early sign of upcoming failure. It would throw an EPC light and lose power. Stopping, shutting the car off and restarting clears the EPC light and returns normal function of the car. Same situation will repeat randomly.
Pros: clears EPC light, returns function
Cons: EPC light, lose power
Turbo 2 of them oem. Water pump 2 of them oem. Can't say I was happy about being forced to switching to toyota corolla hatch.
Cons: multiple turbo failures

Well, as long as you take care of your turbo chargers,you can drive it for years without having a problem, but if you just abuse it again and again just because you bought it for the power outputs, then ofc it will wear out in couple of years and you have to change the whole turbo which will cost around 1-2.5 lakhs.
Pros: drive for years
Cons: wear out in couple years

I had the ECP light issue in late June on my 2018 R with around 21k miles. The dealer diagnosed it as the wastegate, requiring a turbocharger replacement.
Pros: warranty covered replacement
Cons: wastegate failure

My IS12 turbo's wastegate failed. Thankfully, it was replaced under warranty at 57k miles, even with a stage 1 Apr tune.
Pros: replaced under warranty
Cons: wastegate failed

Similar here. EPC light on intermittently. Diagnosed as a failed wastegate. The fix was a replacement turbocharger.
Cons: failed wastegate

After the past year and 11k miles, I remain convinced we bought the right powertrain combination. Our situation is a bit uncommon in that we live at about 6000 feet elevation (Rocky Mountains). We cross higher mountain passes on a regular basis. This definitely amplifies the advantages of turbocharging. At high altitude, the 2.0T is substantially faster than the 3.6 VR6.
Pros: faster than 3.6 VR6

I’ve had water pump failure, AC failure, windshield wiper motor failure and an oil leak due to the turbocharger on top of your normal tire, brake, rotor, windshield and oil maintenance.
Cons: expensive repairs
