GOING IN TOMORROW
Yup although I knew the turbo was good--no play,no oil leaks,etc. but was thinking maybe I messed up on my cleaning or a bad unison ring or vgt. FTE guys said it was ebp to begin with. At least I know what the inside of our turbos look like and am confident in my cleaning skills now 
They said it looked good.

I was asking myself the same question after cleaning mine. I still haven't been able to decide......

Beats me as to when. I have 161K+ on mine and when I split it had only a couple of places I could feel buildup but that was it. I drive it daily at sped and temp so it doesn't sit much.

that's the thing about these trucks... no recouping anything, just saving for the next step in getting a reliable truck.

If your looking for an absolute bulletproof cheap commuter car...find a 98-02 Toyota corolla. They are absolute awesome cars an can be found anywhere from 500-2000$. I have a 98 w/ 290K and I beat the car relentlessly. 10K oil changes and no timing belt(timing chain) to frig with. I've convinced several people I work with to buy them and they have been very happy with them.

What were the problems you were having with your turbo?

Basically a bad ebp sensor. I did do a clean on the turbo but that didn't fix it. I knew the ebp was bad from coolant soak but didn't mess with it because I was putting it in the shop for hg and studs.
