Of course the turbo has more hardware and some of it is stressed more than
in the non-blown cars. On the other hand, most of the problems with turbo
maintenance...not associated with high performance modifications...are
many
times caused by lack of use. In other words, the turbos, like most cars
and
certainly 911's, don't really work out well as "garage queens". If you
let
them sit, moisture forms in places that it shouldn't be, and even Mobil 1
drains away from some im****tant areas. Odds are that...say...a 2003 turbo
with 8K miles might well not be in as good a shape mechanically as the
same
car with 25-30K miles, that's had regular maintenance.
The moral of the story is that if you buy them....drive them!
