In general, turbo or not, longevity is dependent on engine design vs power output. Taking a design that's long lived at 200 hp and cranking it up to 400 is going to reduce lifespan. Headroom in the original design and any changes that can be made in the process will determine how big the reduction is, but it'll never live as long as a clean sheet design targeting 400hp.
