well, to be honest with you, to have a reliable car really depends on a few factor. one of it being the driving habits of the driver. revving the engine and redlining is not good for any car. if we take driving habits as NOT a foreseen problem, then a minor I/H/E set up should not hurt much. it may even prolong the engine's life. I/H/E contributes a lot to the combustion cycle of the engine. those modifications will help the engine breathe in and out more effectively. Turbo can be safe if tuned properly. Turbo is the way to go if you want power. to maintain a more reliable car, just do not Boost all the time. and like you said.....boost only if the opportunity presents itself......
peace
