Corvair Classic

The article said:

<Many owners suggested I avoid buying a turbo. (The Corvair was one of the first  mainstream production cars to offer a blower.) As one put it, “That thing will  run great once, and then you spend the entire summer trying to get it to run  like that again.” >

I've never owned a turbo.  What's the general consensus out there?  Was the advice given the author of the article correct?
