I have never had an issue with the turbo cars I've owned. I have no idea why people have problems with them. I know that one issue is short trips where the oil doesn't get to full temp. There is always water in the oil due to water vapor in the air, and water as a product of combustion. If you don't get the oil hot enough, the water never evaporates. Water sits in the bottom of the pan, so it's the first thing to get sucked up when you start the engine. Water is not a tremendous lubricant.
I don't know how prevalent that issue is, but the science is right. The amount of moisture/water in oil may be so low that it really doesn't matter.
The other issue is that some OEMs are just ****ty at calibrating a turbo engine. Subaru has been doing it forever with little to no issue. Ford is fairly good at it.
Everyone else... meh... I know that GM doesn't put a whole hell of a lot of time into their 4 cylinder engine line, Dodge's 1.4 turbo is made by Italians, and then you have the Koreans...
