Broad rule of thumb, but turbos are usually a good thing for a 4 stroke cycle diesel. The increased air flow (scavenging) under load helps cool the combustion chamber, result in more complete combustion and sweeps the combustion products out better. Agree that as a power adder to small gasoline engines, they tend to shorten life. But pay attention to cautions about allowing engine a minute or two to warm up and a few minutes to cool down, good for any diesel, but especially to cool the turbo.
