Highest Mileage for Stock Turbos?

Im thinking about getting a 90to93 300ZXTT for a daily driver. I have heard that the turbos wear out after a 100k miles or so?? Im new to the turbo world (im used to superchargers) and really have no idea if there is any turth to this. I plan on eventually upgrading the turbos but not for at least 10k miles after i own it. So, if a car has 100k plus miles on it should i steer clear or will the trubos be good?

Thanks!

Joe

TT's are kinda hard to find these days. You could always go to a wrecking yard and pick some up or just buy a turbo rebuild kit. Just make sure the turbine has alot of play. But, if the car is a good price and you really can't pass it up, don't. Its all a matter of how the person who owned it before kept up on them because there is maintence required. How much are you looking to spend btw.
