Woody, the turbo engines wear more quickly than non-turbo versions due primarily to additional heat . . . really can't say exactly how much mileage equals an engine overhaul, but I've never heard of valves, valve guides, etc. still being usable much past 100K miles - typically much less (like around 70K miles) is more the norm with these engines.
Also, the absolutely stupid design of the turbocharger, oil scavenge system (sends oil that passes through the turbo directly back to the main oil tank, where it then gets pumped to the crank and cams without being filtered first), adds to this as coke particles plug up the cam spray bars and cause a lot of problems . . . made worse by owners who are too cheap to use synthetic oil or don't follow the recommended, engine shut off procedure.
