Most 5 cylinder turbo engines are very strong(audi/volvo). I know someone in the netherlands that has a chip tuned audi s2 with over 400.000 km's. During our latest meeting we had a RR test, when this car was tetsted it gave still over 280 hp!!
Getting everything sorted out for my 5++ hp project
Stuff will wear out eventually (like turbos) but generally they are bullet proof if serviced well.
I met a guy with an S6 (100 shape) which is basically the same engine as an S2. Mine had 55k on it and his had 250k. His actually sounded smoother than mine
I stipped my 3B engine after 125,000 miles. It had 1 thou of wear on the bores Many owners on the Audi forums have massive mileage on thier motors. The important factor is frequent oil changes with a good quality oil.
I bought mine with 120k on the clock. I then gave it 370bhp on the same engine, this lasted for about a year. Left in chipped or stock form they will do 180k without too much hassle.

yep 164k miles on mine and only now is the (first and only) clutch is starting to slip, the last 18months its had a homefry on it.
In stock form 220/230bhp is not going to stress it, they are built to handle much more than that so providing you can find evidence of a caring keeper, you can be confident it should be fine over 100K miles.
As has been said on here many times, the key is a pile of receipts rather than a service book with Audi stamps in it.
Like a lot of things, depends how it is treated, warm that oil, the first 2 mins of the engine rotating is critical especially if its a cold day, thats why on performance engines we get oil pressure and oil temp gauges.
