Maintenance on a turbo?

How much more maintenance is a turbo over an NA? Do they break down more often and require more repairs? Do they last as long? Do they require more attention?

More moving parts=More to maintain
Forced induction=Faster engine wear

Yeah Turbo's can cause alot of problems especially with the exhaust cuz it's so hot. With an N/A you also don't have to worry about a turbo but ur gonna have less power Turbo's are by far much more fun to drive especially when a stupid acura pulls up beside you and you rip it so fast he pretends that he wasn't even racing!!
