Turbo Replacement Schedule

I know this is a difficult question but I'm looking for an average range here.

How many miles can one go before replacing/repairing the turbo? (Assuming that this is a daily driver).

I've heard 50k, 100k, 150k. Anyone hear different?

We're talking about a stock turbo?

Till it goes Bad.. Stock turbos should last the life off the car as long as all the other maintence has been kept up such as the oil changes.

I have a 100k on my stock turbo and its fine... I also have cams and many more mods make 370hp... It really just depends on the car itself with mods...

The average I have seen is around 80-100K. I replaced my stock turbo on my 99 eclipse gsx at the low 80K mark, way back when. And on my 03 evo it gave out just shy of 100k, both were stock at the time with the exception of a catback on both cars, and a K&N drop in filter, 100% stock tune on both vehicles.
