Default daily drive turbo fbody

This may be a stupid question. I have finished my LS3 turbo engine and am ready to put it in my daily driver. The car it was going in is being restored right now. The motor is all forged and has a t76 turbonetics turbo. I plan to run ac and drive it year round. I know plenty cars us turbos from the factory... but I am a little nervous. The car it is going in has trans, rear, and fuel system ready for the task. Is there any thing else to help with longevity? Oil cooler?,

Shoul I sell the turbo system and use a supercharger instead?

The car is driven 40 miles a day mixed environment.

Thanks

I wouldn't drive it during the winter, but that is more an issue of me not wanting to get hit by someone in bad weather conditions. I have put about 450 miles on my newly finished build in the past 2 weeks and could see it being driven daily. You got to ask, would you really want to drive it during winter.

Mine isn't my DD, but it could be if it was called upon.
