Yea and a big boom if you turn it up on that car. None of the internals were upgraded from stock.
I'm not talking cranking the thing up to 2bar or anything but just a couple of psi along with freeing up the breathing on the intake and exhaust. Anyways, I think a large FMIC would be a must-have on this car. The stock intercooler is pathetically small and about half blocked by the bumper.
I think the jury is still out on what the stock block can handle safely. If you blow it up, turn the boost back down and have it fixed under warranty. 
Granted, a turbo will shorten the engine life on any car. I guess this really isn't my biggest concern given my choice in cars. A rebuild just gives me an excuse to upgrade.
