We have belts on blowers, and there's always a risk of breaking one, or an idler pulley seizing up.

The issue with a turbo is people don't understand you need to give them a cool down before you turn the car off... You don't want to run you car hard, under boost and then just shut the car off..
That being said was reading an interesting article on the Ford twin turbo Ecoboost... very interesting read...
