trans wear turbo vs. NA

Am looking at a '92 900 non-turbo with manual. Have owned '89 turbo with manual trans that had transmission replaced twice before I bought at 129K. I've been wondering if it's logical to expect that there is a greater chance of buying a bad transmission in a turbo car than a non-turbo. Not only from the standpoint of greater stress on the transmission from the turbo torque, but also given that, on average, those with turbos would drive more agressively. (I guess this question is both mechanical and psychological). The reason I ask is that the '92 has 145K on the original 5 speed. The clutch and slave cylinder have both been replaced recently, but wondering if the internal workings are a time-bomb at this point.
