How long are cars kept AFTER turbo/super-charged?

Here's an interesting question, 'For the cars you've owned, and have added turbo or supercharged it, how long did it take before you 'sold it and bought something else?' I'm not asking reliability questions , it's more of a 'boredom, and smiles-per-dollar question' Basically, for folks that did turbo/supercharge their rides, how long did they keep it? I've been looking at newer cars, much more powerful. I'm curious, of the folks who upgraded their Gs to have more power, how soon after that did they 'grow bored/restless' anyway.

most folks im gatherin have sold their turbo|supercharged cars for reasons outside from boredom of power...

ive owned a number of rx7s one of which had over 500+rwhp.. it wasnt for "restless" reasons she was sold..

The 'reasons' for selling it, really aren't important to me, just time timeframe for selling after performing the engine mods.

It's been three years and still loving it. Still need to finish the build though but have no plans on selling it.

I never plan on selling my car which is why I saved for my build for 4+ years while I paid it off the car note. I don't think you will find a common consensus as to 'how long' someone keeps their car. Some people like to change cars often and some people are fine with keeping a car for a long time.
