I don't agree that turbos will more likely have a problem, I have 200,000 miles on my Dodge 1 ton, I push 40+ psi boost with the turbo, never had a problem. Exhaust temps get alot hotter (up to 1500 degrees) with a diesel than with a gas engine, so I highly doubt you will ever have a problem.
We have belts on blowers, and there's always a risk of breaking one, or an idler pulley seizing up.
