The turbo in my 1981 C900 lasted the life of the transmission when we got a used 1987 900S (needed a 4 door). The turbo in my modified 1988 C900 Convertible is still going after maybe 150K, with added boost, bigger exhaust, etc. We went out of our way to take care of the '81, not 'goosing' it until engine temperature was in the green and letting the turbo spool down at idle for a while, because the technology was fairly new then. The '88 has the water cooled turbo. I don't expect any problems with my 2008.
