Nope. On the van ...
The rings wore out before the turbo did,
and I put in a whole new factory rebuilt
engine at around 160k miles. Still going
at 250K, and no turbo trouble.

Chrysler may have discontinued the turbo
because people were burning them up towing.
They weren’t rated for high duty cycles.
The VW seems to be stouter in that regard.
