No, it is not hard on the turbo. Your car's ECU controls the level of boost that is allowed to build and a wastegate opens to preclude there being too much boost. The turbos on these cars are pretty sturdy and Volvo has been selling turbos now for 20 years or so. Just make sure you change the oil regularly, preferably with synthetic.
