Why? The internal loads are the same on the motor at a given boost pressure, and you don't have all the belt load on the crank snout. I've never torn the snout off a crank with turbos... can't say the same about superchargers.
Due to the efficiency of the compressor I would say 1500hp with a turbo is far easier on the motor than 1500hp with a supercharger. Reason being at that HP the supercharger it's self is likely sucking up 100hp+, so you need to lean on it that much more.
