Default How long will stock turbo last on 1.8T usually?

Wantto know how long a stock turbo will last on a 1.8T A4 until it needs to get replaced? My car is a 2001 quattro if that makes a difference for the response. Thanks

If you dont want it replace it, the K03 is the smallest factory turbo and from what i hear not as DURABLE as the older kkk turbos. otherwise with good maintence as long as you engine.

As long as the engine, if well maintained. mobil 0w40 every 4-5 k and a good filter, dont drive like an asz and then stop and turn it off. If you let it cool down first, it will last.
