I have beat the hell out of some of my turbo cars. Never an issue with a turbo. I was warned about them too, but I think the warning stems from the turbo issues in the late 70s.His point wasn't, do not to get a turbo in general, it was do not get one if you do not maintain your engine.
I mean I don't go 35,000 without changing the oil but if I did the turbo would be the least of my worries.
