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.
