Not much different compared to a NT. Your usual fluids, plugs, etc........you might have to do it in shorter intervals

Brand new turbos will generally last around 100k miles. Sometimes more, sometimes less depending on how it is used and how lucky you are.

If it's a brand new turbo, it's more than likely, it will outlast a stock NT motor that it was placed in.
