In a word, 'yes', but depends whether or not you abuse your motor. I drive a 4-speed with turbo and rarely tac over 5k rpm. I know this sounds odd but I am old and don't race (much) anymore. Turbos subjected to constant over-spooling will seize before the rest of your motor is ready to die. I'm not sure what the lifespan is but I'm over 100k miles and engine is still good as new. USE SYNTHETIC OIL, TOO!!!
FWIW, I know someone with a turbo motor who has over 200,000 miles on it.
