Reliability of New Legacy XT Turbos?


Recommended Posts

Hi-

Since the new 2.5 Turbo has been on the market for a while, I thought I would round up impressions/opinions/observations/experiences with:

(A) Reliability-particularly in real-world driving. Stop and go, or long idles a problem?

(B) Fuel-91 Octane (premium) required?

© Oil change intervals?

(D) Observed stress on other components, e.g. gaskets, hoses, engine components subjected to extreme heat?

 

If this sort of review is published elsewhere in forum, please just respond w/post numbers to earlier notes.

 

Thanks all,

Outback Fan
