Default Ok let's say you buy 2 new turbos. 6 months and 15k later, when one fails, I need to buy 2?

Explain why. What exactly does "OLD" mean?

Default u don't HAVE to do it ..that's your choise .. i would personally not do it that's all

you can run what ever you want .. you know that.
it's just not a good idea.
most people pay for the install = engine removal.. so doing that "often" might not be a great idea.

Default from what i understand it's a conservative/precautionary thing. if one fails then

the other may have been overworked trying to compensate leading to possible failure of the "good" turbo sooner rather than later in the future.

at the very least, you probably should have that turbo examined by someone like a Bloush to make sure it's not on it's last legs too before putting the engine back together.

that would cause your car to drift the right or left depending on which side the hybrid is on.
