Tuning is important. Get an exhaust gas temp gauge so you can watch your temps. Buy (or borrow) a logger and check out your 02's and timing as well. If you're running 5psi with an intercooler and you have it tuned correctly, you should be fine.

But like everyone else, you'll start to want more power. Eventually you'll buy a boost controller and crank up the boost a little bit. Very soon you'll reach the threshold for the stock pistons and the piston landings will crack. Then it's rebuild time.

Also, when I first turboed my car, my stock clutch had many miles on it already. It only lasted about 8-10 days before I had to upgrade.

You are not your job.
You're not how much money you have in the bank.
You're not the car you drive.
You're not the contents of your wallet.
You're not your fu**ing post count.
