I was just reading the other guy's post about his turbo going out, after just a year. I'm assuming mine is the original, 19 years old. Since they spin so fast, is there any maintenence needed on these? Any oiling or greasing of anything?

Also, where the air tube meets up to the turbo, there is black carbon around that area, as though the air tube isn't on tight enough. My general mechanic said that's normal, which, I'm taking his word for it as gospel, he's pretty good.

When will they make a car with no moving parts so we don't have to fix anything?
