Just adding fuel to the fire......how long an engine lasts is all relative anyway.  Any engine will last with proper maintainence. 
Yes but a blown engine will NEVER last as long as a comparably built and maintained non-blown engine. I'll give you a example. the engine in my plane is turbocharged (Rotax 914 115HP) and has a 1,000 hour TBO (means time between overhaul) the internally identical Rotax 912 80HP has a 1,500 hour or it might even be up to 1,750 now TBO. Bigger stresses mean shorter lifespan.

My plane only needs a semiannual air check
