tso is infamous around these parts
Do all Bentley's have these?

Sorry, I didn't know how to word this question but when I was at the dealer and looking at the Bentley he said it was turbocharged, and the turbos usually blow out at 70,000 miles and they cost $10,000 to replace each. Do all Bentley Continental GT have twin turbos? And it wasn't a speed edition.

F430, tell us how you really feel

Have not heard of a single turbo being 'blown out' due to mileage. In fact, as i recall, Bentley 'overspecc'ed the turbo. In other words, they are using only a fraction of their true capabilities, which generally means a longer lifecycle for the part. In fact many parts on the Bentley are overspec'ed to ensure long life. They design cars to last many decades, not just past a 3yr/36 or 5yr/50k mile warranty.

This is important, please inform the Bentley factory of your dealer and specifically the salesperson’s name so they can be properly trained about these automobiles. Obviously the salesperson may indeed not be properly qualified to provide detailed information to customers.

Never heard of that on any car.

I do believe that bentley tuned down the turbos like stated above so there using a small portion of their actual potential. With that being said ...

turbos will blow :
1) not properly maintained
2) starved of oil (depending on turbo setup)
3) I believe if they are tuned passed their ability (e.g. running like 30 psi)

proper maintenance will let a turbo live for a long long time

THIS !

I dislike a lot of salesmen regardless... It just makes it worse when I know more about the car then they do.

But I hate when they treat me like s*** cause I am young.. meanwhile im probably making double what there making
