There is no 'other' turbo maintenance than what I mentioned above. You need to check for leaks (fluid/vacuum) and check all hoses/etc to make sure nothing is damaged (cut/dry rotted/heat damaged/etc.). The turbo gets it's oil/water cooling feed from the same places the engine does so when you change oil you are 'servicing' the turbo.

Edit - If you want a low maintenance boosted car get one that is done that way from the factory
