Do turboed subarus run and run or do they generally need engine gearbox work done at high (100+) mileages.?

Thumbs up

Just passed 176k on my way into work this morning

Only things I've had done are..

Clutch
Water pump
Radiator
A couple of cam position sensors (seem to go at about 70k mark)
oil seals

Engine, turbo and gearbox are still fine. This is on a UK MY95.

Anyone done higer?
