9k miles seems like a problem to me. I would try to find out what happened. I can't see how this could be ok. I'd be kinda pissed if my turbos went out in 9k, modded or not. Porsche does not build cars that need turbos replaced at 9k miles.

quite true, and it's not like him to have turbo issues after all he's the master of KKK turbos.
