First, if they have never worked on a car like yours, it's time to find a new shop. But no, they do not, in and of themselves, face a problem with loosing oil, there must be another issue.

Any engine that's built correctly, whether NA or turbo, will not lose any oil. The main issue with KATs is the oil return bung placement and adding the oil restrictor in the oil feed line to limit oil pressure/volume going into the turbo.
