I am a sales rep and drive my car daily. I have owned it for 11 months so far and already put 21,xxx miles on it...I am fairly confident that with boost the motor's life will be shortened, and I plan on keeping this car for 10 years minimum.

So is the general consensus that either turbo or supercharger is equally safe given the asme amounts of boost with a good tune? longevity means a lot to me. Again, i live in southwest florida and it gets hot here and I do a lot of city driving unfortunately so cooling is a must of course, but I was of the understanding that turbo cars make more heat then a supercharged setup. Am I wrong in this assumption?
