The-o-rectally, as long as you have oil pressure, surface hardening doesn't mean so much. Unless you detonate, which shoves the rod down hard enough to displace oil film + contact bearing with crank; this is what causes upper bearing shell wear.
Given the average lifespan of a turbo D16 at 200+ whp, turning or replacing the crank is probably a non-issue... do whatever is cheapest.

its cheaper to get another crank anyway. The bigger the journal, the more surface area. Not like its that much of a reduction but id just get another crank for the peace of mind. That and not having to deal with getting the machine work and custom bearings etc
