for the past week, I been reading and notice that alot of people wrote that there is alot of maintenece needed with a turbo, what kind of maintenece are we talking about and what is the life of a turbocharger.

thanks for your help guys

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

shorter intervals?
umm anything else?
and how long would a turbo last? and if dies how much for a rebuilt and could I rebuilt it myself?

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.
