I drive my car very aggressively, but a lot of tuning hours have gone into it. Only problem i had was with the clutch, but thats a given when you're adding massive amounts of hp/tq. i had a problem with the syncrhos in the tranny going out but since i've fixed the problem i havnt had any problems. all depends on how much boost your running. with a stock sized pulley you'd most likely be pushing about 7-8psi which is pretty safe. all and any cooling mods will help
