well you should use that warranty to have your turbos checked. I am 98k and I dont have any turbo problems.

Default No normal service or maint for the turbos other than oil changes and coolant changes.

Dealers will typically not touch the turbos unless your car is leaving a James Bond-esqe smokescreen or are making noise like a nuclear-powered dentist drill that can be heard from blocks away.
