I think just like tuning our N20's, extra PSI means a reduction in longevity. If the target is the OEM turbo lives to 120k, that the increase in boost of 10-15% could equate to a similar shortening in life. Which if that means the turbo dies at 90k now, well there is the excuse to upgrade down the road.
