Default CP3 question

It would all depend on usage, good fuel, how hard its being pushed ... generally I would have to say around 200K average... Of course that being said, some may get 400K and some 100K ... it all just depends ... ( Kind of a loaded Question really ) ...

Try runnning some ashless 2 stroke oil in your fuel, will help lube your CP3 and such ...

Or double up on some Cetain boost and injector cleaner ... Another issue could be the map sensor .. if you have a oil type air filter this could have contaminated the sensor ... might wanna take a look at that first before doping fuel up ...

Get it cleaned if you can , maybe have it checked @ a shop you trust ... they can watch the perameters on a good scanner in real time , should be able to give you an exact answer...
