Why do you change your timing belt so frequently? If the belt fails on turbos, the valves will not contact cylinders as on standard model.
Hi. I change the T-Belt, all other belts, water pump, etc. every 5 yrs and well below the 60,000 interval just so I have peace of mind. By doing it in that 5 yr. interval, I avoid having to do any other work for 5 yrs., and at any time feel confident enough to drive it across country if I had to. BTW- the valves will hit the pistons if the tbelt breaks- not a pretty sight.

Forgot to mention that the Z32TT also has a factory oil cooler, not sure why they didn't include it in the Z34.
