Well all of the upgrades you just mentioned will prolong the life of your turbo indefinately. I just ordered a B&M supercooler so my turbo and engine cool down better. The life of the turbo is mostly dependant on you. I believe the Turbonetics turbo can handle lots of punishment, seeing as how it can handle up to 450 HP. You just need to give it ample time to cool it down before your shut it off so oil won't bake in there. Switcing to synthetic oil should help too, haha what a hypocrite I am, I'm too cheap for that stuff. Your car and you will love freeway driving, I know mine seems to take it well. Driving on hot days in a heatwave is another problem though, my engine bay got so hot one day that I melted my WeaponR breather (cheap design though). But yeah your turbo will probably last the life of your car as long as you maintain it. I'm no turbo expert though....
