I have 200,000 k on a courier and the turbo is starting to whistle when I back off.
Had a so called expert tell me that they should be rebuilt at about that klm's.
Ive never heard it before , always thought that they would last more than that.
Bye the way the vech is a 2005 courier.
Thanks
Bushy..

Me old Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo had 385 K's on the clock before I sold it and it was still good.
I did have a whistle at about 185 K's and as stated it was the exhaust leaking near the manifild,
Cheers.

I also think it maybe worthwhile checking exhaust and turbo gaskets before thinking the worst. You know your car, how she normally goes, its service and how hard you drive it, so maybe its a simple problem in an older engine.
Mine just did it's exhaust gasket and I almost got the rifle out for her but took a breath and all fixed in 2 1/2 hours. I expect over 200K for
mine
