Life span of the turbo at 19 lbs

How reliable or how long would you think the turbo would last on a stock Evo? Also, is it true that a clutch job cost $1000? Thanks in advance for any comments.

the turbo is made to last .....its a piece of art cast iron twin scroll rarity as for being stock. In my personal opinion , this thing is made to outlast most any stock turbo on the market. most turbo's have to be inspected by around 45k miles......replaced around 50-80k miles(most) This turbo will last the life of the car if you are good to it =). and yea......it costs a lil more than 1k for a clutch job.

If you did a clutch job on the Evo you would not go back to stock.
