You can run any setup you want. To be honest its all a gamble with any car and any build. I have experienced this 1st hand with my cobalt. Fully forged internals, girdled block, pretty much everything and something still would fail even with a reputable tuner. There are people running big turbos on the stock pistons and rods making close to 500 with no bottom end failure but they still have issues and pretty big ones at that. If you're planning on this, don't just plan on paying for a turbo kit especially if its your "dd". Save for anything that could happen. You could even junk your block. Happened here with my girdled block. Its all in luck with big turbo cars. Things will break and don't say they won't because they will and you can't say you won't be itching to just adjust the boost controller a few more psi after you got beat or got tired of the same power. And that sir will most likely be your resolve.

I know exactly what you mean. if I'm gonna put the money into a bigger turbo
kit I would be better off building the motor some. esp the bottom end, I want to
get the zzp cams but Idk if the gain is worth the price

And I would also add to this is for those newbies. Get a duo high and low boost option, leave it on low boost most of the time and don't beat the **** out of your car every time you are on the road.
There's this kid in his turbo Integra in my neighbourhood that I swear he boost the **** out of it and setting off his bov every time doesn't matter what time of day or weather condition in a residential area too. What a douche bag.

He is saying a dual stage boost controller. Set one knob for lower boost and the other knob for higher boost. Flip a toggle switch to change between high and low
