Stock parts will not fail if properly tuned to less then 450whp.
only upgrade needed are ARP bolts and a properly sized turbo.
With great challenges comes great engineering.

you will either need to piggyback your ecu or use something like go-tech, megasquirt, etc.

You may also need to upgrade your headgasket, will need an intercooler +piping and possibly additional injectors or bigger to supply fuel.

Obviously will need a remap too.
