CB is always right about everything, but I'd rather have to rebuild a turbo than rewire a car. Also, his definition of hard use and mine are miles apart. I'm sure it does reduce turbo life, but on a street car where you blast through a few gears and then cruise I'll bet it's negligible. I had the turbo wrapped on my old STI for a long time, and never had any issues. I would bag a water-cooled turbo in a heartbeat. An old oil-cooled one, not so much.
