I think if anything they are less stressed, they run lower compression than a N/A 1.8. Mine is well over 100k, the previous owner replaced the head gasket as a precautionary measure not as the result of a failure and when I saw Brian not long after I bought it he reckoned it was a "new" turbo as well. Previous owner reckons it has been "tweaked" at some point in its past, all I know is it brings the hooligan out in me now and then, goes like stink when you wind it up
