Turbos are toward the end of their life; do I buy JB4

My turbos have about 1 year left says my mechanic. I want to purchase a jb4 should I replace the turbos first then get the jb4 or get the jb4 first since they're gonna go anyways. Also, are there any other problems that can happen from getting a jb4 installed?n

Get MHD over JB4, your turbo will be fine.

Under warranty, my SA said "Looks like it's about turbo time" at 80,000 miles.

Ok, there is actually a chance your turbos can go if you are a N54. You should post in the N54 section. To say "they will go in a year" is still pretty dumb.

1 year left? How do you diagnose a turbo has one year left? :

Are you burning oil/white smoke?
