Coming from someone who bought someone else's turbo project (unbeknownst to me since everything was removed before I saw the car), make sure to inspect or have someone else inspect every single piece of the turbo kit and engine to insure that everything is functioning correctly and is a quality component. My motor blew 2k miles after purchase because the prior owner ran 16lbs of boost on a stock motor and the rod gave out. Two friends of mine with turbo kits had failures, one due to oil pan baffle issues and the other is still unknown. These cars are very reliable N/A but I've seen very few with turbo and no issues. Inspect it often and I'd definitely keep boost at a 7 psi maximum (since our compression is already so high and the rod design does not favor a lot of pressure). Just don't want someone else to suffer after their new purchase like I did!
