The reason why. Increased power generates higher exhaust gas temperatures, which in turn increases turbine temperature which degrades the bearings in the core faster than an engine generating less total output.

The reason for the minimal change in lifespan is because unless on track your not generally loading up the engine enough to create the higher temps at a regular occurance.

So sorry, but you simply can't say that asking a component to operate beyond its intended safety factor will not have an effect on lifespan
