Or are you talking something like daily use plus track use? over 6,000 miles/year, and lasting for a few years.

Effectively a 'Turbo Service Interval'.

And there is far more data on single than twins. Because a single isn't platform specific, you can get a good understanding of how robust it really is.
From what I've seen, the average for single is about 4-5 year life on heavy racing with minimal street, I'd estimate 20,000 mile service life (based on various friends).
Looks like going single is the prefered choice when aiming for 600+whp with mostly street use and some track use during summer only (about 3-4k miles a year)
