Rebuild fp ball bearing turbos(not stock frame)

How often do you need to rebuild an fp ball bearing turbo? Im talking about their garrett ball bearing turbos, not stock frame turbos. How many miles do they usually last before needing rebuilds?

I know a lot of this is dependant on how well the car is taken care of, how often its beat on, ect. Im just looking for a general idea

You dont rebuild ball bearing turbos, you have to replace the chra. But ball bearing turbos tend to last longer than journal bearing turbos.

By rebuild i meant sending it into fp and have them refresh the turbo for you

Fp calls it a "rebuild" on their website
