the main things are you wil never pass emissions tests if you get a turbo... beyond that its pretty solid... the only thing you gotta worry about is having the boost controller go out... if you can get passed the initial setup with no problems then that is the main that that can kill you... boost controller goes out and you either get almost no boost, or you spike from like the usual 8 psi to some odd 15 or so then your engine grenades...

turbos are great, and i love em... but they cost a lot and betwen emisions and having that light worry that "if my boost controller goes out then i could be screwed" i chose not to go turbo...
