What kind of oil do you use?
Did you overboost them?
Did you mistreat the turbo?
Maybe we need a better poll as in "Who has blown up their turbo's?" and give more specific info to get a better idea on how many turbos are lost from oil coking or overboosting.
This would give a better answer if a turbo timer is needed on a more global level rather than personal experience.
From what I've seen and heard over the years, turbo timers are not needed at all if you use the right oil and don't park the car after a high boost drive. This doesn't take into consideration overboosting and premature failures, but I don't think turbo timers are going to help you here anyways!
