    how long a motor lasts with or without a turbo depends on so many things that it is hard to give you an accurate answer.
    if you keep up on maintenance and only put h car on boost from time to time it will last nearly as long as a stock motor.
    forged internals do benefit from being allowed to run for a moment before load is ptu on them, but that is about the only difference you would see from day to day.

      A engine with low boost will last just as long as any other engine if done right. Of course, stock engines can go out in 5k miles to 200k miles, so that doesn't tell you much.
