I've owned the car since 50k, CPO, took over maintenance at ~82k. I started my maintenance with my own version of an oil flush (drain oil, add new, idle until at operating temp, drain & repeat again before putting in Motul). Tuned by Brentuning since I bought it, been FBO, running 18-19 psi and E50-E60 for a couple years. Turbos are original, but they'll a little sluggish and in the past week started puffing some smoke here and there in traffic during deceleration. That will be remedied with Vargas Stage 2+'s soon. The car has always consumed some oil, 1-2 qts is normal for me every 4-5k miles.
There are no guarantees but it's nice to see the N54 holding up. I drive the car "in a highly spirited manner" nearly every day.
