I don't think one can say that for certain, as it depends on the car, the engine, the driver, the oil, etc etc etc. If that were the case, maybe the RX-7's wouldn't have had so many issues with their turbos with all of the heat affecting them at higher mileages.

Within the constraint of the same engine, obviously. For the sake of this discussion, my statement is correct.

If you're talking hyper-aggressive cams/tune and itb's, you aren't even putting down sc power, and have reliability worse than a Yugo.

more parts also are going to be under more strain as well.. if the motor isn't built for FI, it's going to have more issues... not to mention there are just more parts present that can break as well.
