Aside from the fact the car will likely be driven harder, does the principle behind supercharging cause accelerated engine wear?

Absolutely!!! Added boost = added combustion pressure = added force on the pistons / rings = added force on the bearings = added force on the crankshaft bearing cap bolts = added force to the block the bolts are screwed into.
Now the real question becomes, which I doubt anyone can accurately quantify is, "How much sooner (if at all) will my engine actually cough up a hairball because of forced induction?" I may not know the exact answer, but I have a pretty good idea. BTDT

If this is the case, it must be minimal. I say this because several automobile manufactures use turbos in their 4 cylinder engines.
Would you agree?

I would recommend stronger rods, crank bearings, new piston heads, and if you can find one a forced injection cams....

What is Forced Injection cams? Same as Motech exhaust? I'm not a forced Induction guy, so this kind of things is new to me.

Stronger rods? They are made from Titanium!

It was mentioned in this series of posts, that driving the car hard WITHOUT forced induction is likely more damaging to the engine than WITH forced induction.
