He might have been referring to the issue that many N20 owners had with their turbocharger failing around 30,000 miles. Ours did. The compressor side shaft seal failed, causing oil to pool in the compressor housing. This gets invested by the engine on startup, producing copious amounts of smoke, and isn't great for your intake valves either (carbon build-up).
