Talking SHOULD i REPLACE THE STOCK TURBO?
Hello I am looking into buying a 2002 WRX wagon and it has around 100,000kms on it should I replace teh stock turbo? Or will it be okay?

Any advice is welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks Adam

I have 87,000 miles (140013 kms) on my 02 WRX and the turbo is still running strong ***knocks on wood***

But if you have the money then why not? Bigger is better you know

Mileage isn't the problem with the turbo. Don't replace it til it's broken.

Yes, replace the turbo and more importantly stop yelling.
