It all depends on the tuning. If you have poor tuning the first to go is usually the ring lands from detonation. A properly tuned engine can and will last 100k+ miles boosted.

Re: Turbo SOHC life. (b16ahybrid)
with my old setup i ran 6psi for a year and three months on walbro intank fuel pump and a 12:1 fmu.
new setup 9 psi with 450cc and smc+ for about 5 months now....
now got rid of the smc+ and now running the UBERCHIP.
this is all on the same motor.
