Ja, but I least I made you laugh.
It's a well known fact SC's put less wear than a turbo.
Specifically speaking about rotories, check out the research Pettit has done. They even have pictures.
You won't have the SC's blowing up left and right like turbos are on the RX 8.

A Supercharger itselve will often outlive a turbo becaues it spins at a much lower rpm and doesn't have to deal with hot exhaust gases, but you can't possibly draw any correlation between FI type and motor life. Boost is boost. The only argument I could possibly see is the prevalence of boost spikes with a turbo. But, with a good wastegate, boost controller, gauge and careful monitoring, that can be easily avoided.

So much bullshit. So little fact.

At similar power levels and loads, there will be as many failures on both, though it takes much more work to produce similar power levels with an SC.
Tuning is all that separates them in theory (if you ignore the complexity issue). An SC system has more failure points.
Please stop contributing. You are setting back those that are looking for real answers to a significant degree.

Turbos on the other hand is like putting a hammer to the engine, repeatedly. The air is much harder and almost always caused the engine to blow up instantly. Only the turbo people are so dumb they don't even realize the engine is running off the alternator impulse power.
PS: The government wants you to think the turbos are better. It's all a big conspiracy.
