there are many Garrett turbochagers out there on duramaxes and Powerstrokes, and all seem to last a long time on well maintained vehicles, Mine has 100k miles on it and it is still going strong

If you're going to stay more or less stock and not throw a lot of power at it, ditch the PCV and the EGR, leave the stock turbo, and make sure you let it cool down after long runs. From others opinions, a cheetah turbo seems to be a good, near stock option too.
