turbochargers are robust devices provided you allow some engine and oil warm up time.

Also, you need to allow the oil temperature to stabilise before switching off after a quick drive.

They are odd things, turbos free spinning little wheels - the clever bit is controlling that. Old fashioned spring or vacuum wastegates are just that.

Current fashion is to use a pair of turbos. Prior to that is was the variable vane technology.
