From experience turbos last a lot longer than the 100,000kms claimed in the article, just make sure you're up-to-date on oil changes and they shouldn't go bad.

OTOH, if you tend to extend oil changes on a car with a turbo engine then you're potentially shortening the life of the turbo. It's both lubricated and cooled by the engine oil, and in most designs the turbine blades float on a film of oil in order to spin freely.
