Message	I'm taking longevity to mean that the turbo lasts longer. And I would think that if the turbo is operating in it's range of efficiency (where it is made to operate), it will last longer. When you get out of the range of efficiency, it won't last as long. I'm not quite sure you know what the terms efficiency and longevity mean. This seems like a very elementary part of this whole equation you are trying to comprehend. And you aren't grasping it. So I doubt you can speak on the more complicated parts of it with any sort of authority.
