Hi there,

I would be worried about the ECU parameters to operate efficiently. Next would be the crank shaft, you are going to ask it a lot. Turbo cranks are heavier. All other engine components are going to be working over time as well , the harder you push it, the closer you are to something failing. Cooling systems may not cope as well in warmer temp's not to mention transmissions and drive shafts.

have a good hard thing about doing only 1'2 a job, reliability high performance does not come cheap.
