Thats absolute BS.. I had local Subaru dealer rebuild engine on my 06 STi using new RA shortblock, turbocharger, clutch / throwout bearing, Group N engine mount, pitch stop mount, oil pump, oil pan, all vacuum / PCV hose, intake/exhaust valves, valve lifters, coolant system, spark plugs, fuel injectors, fuel rail / lines, starter motor, etc etc plus all gaskets, new timing belt and pulley all the stuff that did not need replacing immediately and still cost less than 11k including all parts and labor.
Pros: new turbocharger, new shortblock
Vehicle:
Subaru
Garrett gt2250s stage 3 from 90k-100k … zero major mechanical issues.

I got a 2867R with two-port and a recirculating valve. I wouldn’t say it is snappy but spool it up to 3k rpm’s and then just roll into it and it’ll take off. When you shift you’re above 3k so just roll back into it. On 93 I have 350 and E40 I have 420 but I like how it drives.
Pros: good power, enjoyable drive
Cons: not snappy
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
I have a 2860 with junits elbow tuned by JST. It spools to 20psi by 2800rpm, and pulls all the way past 6k. If you have the money, 2860 beats powermax in every way… okay maybe PM spools slightly faster, but the 2860 is making 40-50whp more power AND it extends the powerband to 6k+.
Pros: quick spool, extended powerband, more power
Cons: slightly slower spool than Powermax
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
man those EFR turbos were fucking lit.
Pros: excellent performance

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

Mileage: 33796 km
Ich fahre einen Hyundai Santa Fe, Erstzulassung Oktober 2023, also quasi ein Neuwagen mit etwa 30.000 km. Am 30.08.2025 geht kurz nach dem Losfahren die Motorkontrollleuchte (MKL) an mit der Meldung „Motormanagementsystem prüfen“. In der Werkstatt wurde festgestellt, dass der Turbolader einen Lagerschaden hat und eventuell auch der Motor etwas abbekommen haben könnte, weil zu wenig Öl im System war. Die Werkstatt meinte, sie müssen den defekten Turbo ausbauen und an Hyundai schicken, damit entschieden wird, ob es ein Garantiefall ist – was mich ehrlich wundert. Bei einem so neuen Fahrzeug sollte das doch eindeutig sein.
Cons: Lagerschaden, Motorkontrollleuchte
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Mileage: 30000 km
I replaced my tubo and it was also cracked 140k miles
Cons: turbo cracked
