530d E60 Turbo Issue

[r37720]

Hi all!

I would like to find out if any of you 530d owners install a turbo timer to your car?
Does it really helps lengthen the life of the turbo?
As you know most turbo cars are fitted or will have to install these kind of timers.

I have already changed my 530d turbo a year ago and the cost of it really burns the pockets. Dun wanna go through the same thing again.

Hope to hear your advice!

Thanks.

Wah change turbo..... what happen to the old one? Me and my friend interested to buy blown turbo to upgrade to 535d...twin turbo..hehehe

SC told me turbo rosak...so have to change.
Seems that the turbine was loss or something.
Anyways after changing it for more than a year now, I am getting the high pitch squeel sound again.
Cold sweat'la....

Any advice which workshop is a specialist for this car?
Do not really trust official SC's anymore.
