Joe did say he knew of somebody who is still on the original turbo at 170k+ miles. Mine's being re-mapped on thursday, hope it doesn't finish the old turbs off.

Joe78 is correct, mines just shy of 150k to be precise, no smoke that I know of, still pulls well.
When it was up at jbt I was surprised when he didn't mention it whatsoever 120k ish is common now but not many have original lump.

Mines just about to roll round 130k still on the original turbo and engine. No smoke and was rolling roaded at 229bhp running 1.2 bar in February this year. It's on it's 3rd clutch though!
If looked after the turbos are strong units.

My original 16VT turbo lasted to about 110K before it stopped giving any boost. No smoke, just stopped doing anything. There is a little lateral movement of the shaft when dry but not enough to stop it rotating.
Fitted a new one and all was well.
A mystery, but I should have a good basis for a professional rebuild some day.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
