I searched for something that would answer my question but didn't find much exactly on point. I would like to know if there are any specific things I can/should be checking to be sure my turbo is doing OK. I change the oil every 3-5K using RP 10w-50, clean the K&N filter with the kit per the schedule listed elsewhere here. I am leery of actually disconnecting any turbo parts since I have no idea what I am doing there and wouldn't be able to tell off-hand if something didn't look right anyway. I probably could do the Home Depot Boost leak test but there is no indication at this point that it is necessary.
I am not having any problems and can get up to 15psi indicated on the cheapo pillar gauge. I have no idea what kind of turbo it is, what injectors I might have, except that I am sure it is not stock. As far as I can tell it looks and acts like it was done right. I just want to be sure I can stay ahead of things and do what I can to maintain my beast. Meanwhile I have plenty of routine this-and-that which seems to come with being a DSM owner.
