definitely have to worry about temperatures, proper cooling after running hard, boost spike, and some other issues while tuning

Turbos require the same attentiona s other forced induction, just in different ways. ive dealt with turbos a while. With a turbo you learn 3 things. Ceramic coatings are your best friend in many ways, a good oil cooler with a small fan on a switch that is activated with a turbo timer (But freespins otherwise). the Turbotimer= the biggest save for a turbo. As long as you do proper maint a turbo can last a VEERRRY long time. Although this applies true to any vehicle.
I do agree that a turbo requires a bit more attention than a Blower but it makes up for it in Turbine efficiency. Now if we could combine the Postative displacement charectoristics of a roots blower with The efficiency of a Turbocharger, there would be no question.
