Ive been told that turbos often have to be rebuilt. The wheel inside can hit speeds upward of 80,000 rpm and the temp can get quite high. Even with oil injection you quite possibly will have to rebuild a turbo and it is not cheep to do. Most superchargers do not have to be rebuilt because they do not spin at the rediclious RPMs. One exception to this however is the G60 supercharger on a corrado they are usually good for about 60-80 thousand miles. But they have a stupid design with way to much moving mass.

i can get a turbo rebuild kit shipped for about $80.

rebuilding a turbo depends on driving style. drive it hard and never let it cool down before turning off the engine and the turbo wont last as long as it can

generally they can last between 80k-100k miles if taken car of
