Both Toyotas needed new head gaskets but being older cars, that was expected. The Sonata had the wastegate go out twice leaving me in limp mode. I don't expect most modern turbo cars to last more than 250k. If you want something long term, go NA if you can.
I seem to recall you were messing around with your boost all the time tho! lol

My MR2's first turbo went all the way to 240,000kms and I never blew a headgasket... but I didn't run a boost controller either
