does engine or turbo last longer?
i bought my FC 2nd hand and i've had to replace my turbo once so far but haven't had to rebuild the engine yet. I'm just wondering, how many turbos would you typically go through per engine rebuild assuming everything is stock?

i would say the average T2 had an engine before the turbo. chances are that a given T2 is on its second or third engine at this point

Im at least the 6th owner of my Tii, so its total backstory is unknown. My motor was resealed by a previous owner around 160-170k, though it hadn't yet chucked a seal. The turbo im not entirely sure of, the car has 210,000 on it right now and the turbo does smoke on startup and after 100+ mi trips it will sometimes be a smoke screen when i come to a stop(not during driving oddly). If it has around that many miles it would make sense that the seals are near EOL.
