Or how long someone has gone with a S/C or T/C, stock motor, and the motor went kaput.

Maybe I have missed it and if I did I apologize and ask that you point me to the right direction.
He did, twice. probably one of the most discussed topics on here - basically of you're looking for oem type reliability with boost buy something oem like a stock wrx. aftermarket kits are always pushing an engine past its design, and as swarb mentioned there are too many variables (installer, tuner, how much boost, driving style, track exposure, supporting mods, climate, etc). if you're not at least somewhat prepared for the possibility of blowing your motor, don't do it.
