Reply to comment by MakesMyHeadHurt in ELI5: What is a "naturally aspirated" engine? Is it always desirable? Are there "artificially aspirated" engines ? by Gaboik

Is it because they run hotter or what ?

It's because the turbo forces air in at a higher pressure. The extra pressure puts extra strain on various parts and seals.

Edit: Also it's more parts, so that means more parts that could fail.
