Good question. In general, I would not think the configuration makes as much difference as the design, mfg tolerances and material.
Saab has been mfg turbo charged engines longer than anyone else. These engines required a lot of development to cope with the heat and stress of TCing. I have one with 170k on it. Pull the dip stick and check the oil....looks like new and does not burn.
Had an '82 900t....last I heard it had 360k on it. If you have a good one and keep the fluids changed....who knows how long it will last?
