Ive been turboed for a few years now. I believe if you run thicker oil, dyno tuned and reliable tuner, supporting mods, proper maintenance, monitor boost gauge and temps, give your car time to cool after pulls, or just take care of your car in general. Dont beat on it like it owes you money lol.

A lot of people say get a good tune, but its important that it is dyno tuned. Getting E-tunes where its flashed is not a full reliable tune. E-tunes are meant for your car to be driven for your dyno tune. Unless its been logged plenty of times for different situations.

Proper maintenance is key. My setup was around 300whp stock internals, injectors, no oil cooler. full exhaust, 5w-30 oil, thicker radiator and fans, catch can.
I definitely have pushed my car as well. Current setup is built motor and lots more goodies for more power, tune is coming this spring!
