Well, as long as you take care of your turbo chargers,you can drive it for years without having a problem, but if you just abuse it again and again just because you bought it for the power outputs, then ofc it will wear out in couple of years and you have to change the whole turbo which will cost around 1-2.5 lakhs.
I put one in mine, ~225 hp @ 11 psi, starts spooling at 3000 rpm
I was running the GT2860RS turbos and they’re making the power you’re aiming for too. I can say I was spinning tires in third gear and hitting boost around 3400 RPMs. They may be slight older and won’t spool as fast as the newer GTX, but that particular turbo will still kick in the pants and not drain the wallet. And they are ball bearing turbos too.
Quite a few years ago I bought a Borgwarner EFR6758 for my build, and it was a stellar little unit.
Yes
The main party piece of the TCR/Clubsport/R engine is the IHI IS38 turbocharger. It is optimised to keep building power higher up in the rev range, where the regular GTI's IS20 runs out of puff.
The turbo itself on the V60 has bearing noise and a louder than normal blow-off sounds but otherwise running well.
Had a 2020 1.5 T Sport, same issue. Car drove fine after the turbo codes until the head gasket blew up. It’s a known issue with 1.5 L Turbo hondas
My turbo went out around 180K, you’ll be able to tell, the pick up will be sluggish and you won’t feel those little boosts when accelerating
My turbo went bad and it was throwing the same code as yours except many more. I took it to honda and i got the same code with a bad turbo. I will say tho, i never noticed a difference in my car or power and luckily the lights and codes went off after a couple days.
