Some reading on turbocharger failure analysis might be a good idea before you replace them.
I had a rental ecoboost for a couple weeks recently. I wasn’t a fan of the number of times that engine started and stopped at red lights. At the time I was wondering how long the starter would last but it’s likely not doing the turbos any favours either.
I think half pickereled makes a good point about turbos on gas engines not getting the same amount of respect a diesel might. Cold starts, hot shutdowns.
Out of curiosity, in what way did the turbos fail?
