Engine internals before FI?

Good evening everyone,

So I'm considering installing FI on my FR-S this year. I've been following different threads of turbos being developed, but I'm curious about one thing.

Has anyone upgraded their engine internals yet?

I'm using my FR-S for amateur track duty as well as daily driving. I'm sure I'll need to install an oil cooler on top of the usual components, but what about the engine's internals? Has anyone burned through them yet?

I don't want to go about 280hp... I see that many stage one kits don't go above this mark, and I haven't seen any reports of engines blowing up... yet.

Any thoughts on this though? Should I wait until some stronger components are developed? Or should I just sell the car and get a WRX? LOL
