nothing like driving with the windows down and the music low: i love hearing the turbo spool, swwwhhhttt!!!!

of course. The 11 second HRC eclipse is a daily driver, so a stage 1 will be fine.

MODS:

HRC 16g turbo kit, Spearco custom FMIC, Custom IC piping, VT rebuilt engine: Custom 8.8:1 compression CP pistons, Eagle connecting rods, Melling oil pump, Clevite bearings, 370cc injectors, Vortech S-FMU, Apexi N-1 catback exhaust, AFX UDP, Autometer boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, EGT gauge, Corbin's digital A/F gauge, Tokico Blue shocks, Tein springs (1.5" drop), 18" Konig Verdicts rims, VIS stock-style Carbon fiber hood

A PROPERLY tuned turbocharged car should be pretty reliable. Factors that will affect your car's engine life and/or performance, will be things like: your driving habits, how often you race, proper maintenance of the car and engine.

It is a drug to say the least, I cant keep out of the turbo with my car...........But with forged internals and say you never go over like 5-6 psi, I bet you could run the shit out of it for a LONG time.
Just ask the guys who are already doing it with stock intenals. Lots of peeps on here have gone thousands of miles, with no boom boom.

I think I speak for everyone here with a turbo. Once you put it in and drive it, you will never go back to N/A. It's worth the little problems (busted ring lands, cracked pistons...). My favorite part is when you have some random girl in your car and you spool it up and watch their face light up.

Anything adding more stress to an engine is cause for concern.. but it is whatever you want to do, if you can fix minor things here and there, which even a stock engine you still have to do, then you'll be fine, but just remember that the more power you achieve, the more wrench time you'll be putting in, IMO
