Turbo Maintenence

[adnoh]

Hey guys,
I don't personally have my B16A boosted, but would like to one day soon. I have a few questions about it.
It seems to be a general stereotype that Turbo's on a whole make more power than a supercharger right? It also seems to be a stereotype that turbo's are also much harder to maintain than an SC. What does that mean exactly? What is involved in maintaining a Turbo setup to make it run smoothly and be reliable through the years? What do I mean by this?....... Well, Engines need oil changes, trannies need tranny oil, engines need timing belts, rads need coolant changes ect............ Maintaining a Turbo setup isn't as simple as bolting it on and driving is it? Seems too simple to me.

What sort of maintenence is involved? How often is it required?

Thanks!

turbos are more efficient that SC's.
turbos require good, clean oil all the time- 3k oil changes at the worst- 1500-2k if you care about it.
letting it cool (ideling before turning car off)

and thats really about it.
