turbos add a good bit of power, but with power, more heat and stress is thus created. first you must combat this heat (coolent temp, calendar head temp, oil temp, combustion temp ) and stress on internals is going to happen as well. sure a good tune will get you where you need to go, but power should be the last thing. reliability is key.
