It depends on how the car is driven. If the thing lives out of town, gets clean oil and is allowed to cool with the engine running, (necessary to keep oil flowing through the thing) after you've caned the daylights out of it, it will last pretty much forever- or at least the life of the car.
If it lives in town, gets driven by a granny (or grandad) and rarely gets good oil, then, as it sits in traffic, idling, with insufficient exhaust pressure to prevent oil seeping into the turbine housing, it will coke up. As the oil collects crap and swarf from the engine and gets progressively thinner, it will cause bearing and shaft wear and it's reduced viscosity will allow it to seep even more easily into the turbine. Then.......either the turbine will sieze causing catastophic damage to the turbo or if you're lucky the bearings will wear out and will require replacing. A cretin may manage to destroy a turbo through carelessness in 50,000 miles, a careful driver can make one last 200,000 miles or more.
Oil is critical, Always.
