a car made to be a turbo, is just as reliable as NA, its when you turbo an NA, people seem to have problems, cos everyone wants there car turbo'd on the cheap
What im talking about though is when you start modding them. Which lets face it, 90% of people on here would buy one and modify it. The cars are designed to run turbo's, yea... but they're designed for only a certain amount of power. Go beyond that and you start breaking stuff alot.
