I know what you're saying, however, you're not increasing the LOAD on the transmission, the engine, or anything else when you're cruising down the highway driving like a normal person should.
If it takes 90ftlb to move the car at 80MPH down a flat stretch of road...it still takes the same amount of force, no matter if you have forced induction or not...
Air resistance won't change. Rolling resistance won't change. The only difference is that you have a turbo (or supercharger) in the car, so that if you mash the pedal, it has more power on tap which of course, would stress all of the components...
However, if you don't drive around flooring it all the time, I'm sure the components will hold up just fine, even if you dyno out at 1000HP...
You might blow the tranny on the dyno, but driving it around you'd probably do just fine...
