Whats the Lifespan of turbo motors??

A lot of it depends on the block you're talking about. You need to specify since the lifespan seems to be all over the place.

We've seen crazy blocks like the supras and vipers take in mad boost and still live a long and healthy life.

Its all about finding the weakest link and making it "above par, and then some".

Thats the downside of tuning - you really have to anticipate the next thing thats going to break.

My buddy blew the 2nd gearset in his VW. Hes pushing 300+ CHP in a car designed for 110. Strange things happen when you push the limit.

uprgrade what all you need to withstand the power you desire(better safe then sorry)..pistons, rods, etc and of course the simple things like c-clamps/t-bolt clamps because you'll need stronger clamps because of more boost coming in. The lifespan of your boosted motor all depends on how you drive it everyday and how often you change your fluids. If you do alot of slight boosts or major boosts every other day or EVERYDAY; change your oil before 3k and change your timing belt/chain and other internals that need changing before their scheduled replacement. The less you push booost, the less you'll lose.
