Will the stage 1 upgrade shorten the life of the turbo? With the higher boost, etc...?

In my experience, the only thing that shortens turbo life is abuse, e.g., going WOT on a regular basis -- especially without a cool-down period before turning engine off, not using synthetic oil, etc.
A guy I knew, who had a twin-turbo Porsche, had a saying, "The candle that burns brightest, burns shortest." I've always remembered that and have had good luck with my previous turbo cars.
