With the 9000, you knew what you were getting into. There are weak spots, but even the problematic autobox was usually good for at least 80K. Turbos aren't overly expensive, but I'd hate to think they have the same replacement interval as the serpentine belt.
What it says is to budget for a turbo to crap out every three to four years. If it never dies, as has happened to folks here, you're ahead of the game. If it dies, you're ready. Just part of the maintenance requried, like pulleys with the serp. belt.
