Owning a supercharged vehicle that's been boosted since day one, it does wear faster than a stock engine. But that was after 200,000 miles of it!

That isn't true turbos can and do make power at low rpms and thru out the power band of the engine. They can be a way to make cars or trucks more fuel efficient especially at the lower rpm range or make big power at the high rpm. I have several turbo cars that are more fuel efficient the their aspirated or super charged counterpar but still make more power under the same PSi. I just don't know if boost of any type is the way I want to go on this old SUV. Maybe simply reducing weight, adding an intake system/exhaust mod and leaving stock size tires will be ok
