it all depends how much you beat on it and what not. No one is going to have an answer for you. It could last you 1 mile or 1million miles there are way to many factors that come into play.

Fully Built motors dont last forever, they can also blow up.

just some of the factors:

Daily driven?
how much hp?
TUNE? <the most important by far
Engine managment?
beaten on?
condition of engine before boosting?
regular maintenace before and after boostin?
quality/proven products used?
and the list can go on and on........

for 7psi on an average sized turbo and a good tune on Uberdata/Hondata/AEM EMS a stock LS should produce good power and last a long time.
