The turbo on my 1990 SPG is still providing a healthy kick at 218K. It's true, if you lay off the leadfoot until the engine is warmed up, and let the car run for 20-30 seconds at idle when you're done driving, you'll keep the turbo happy. What kills a turbo is frying the oil that coats and cools the turbine axle -- shut off the engine while it's still spinning high and you stop oil pressure in the line, and the oil that's there gets cooked and gums it up.
