7 years of daily driving that car seems to say different. Setting up the pump right so it doesn't overfuel and keeps egt's down in a safe range assures you will not melt your pistons. If you just add a turbo and leave everything else alone that is different. Sounds like this one was done well.

Not true. If you add a turbo alone you gain efficiency or cleaner emissions by getting more air into the engine. More air is always better for efficiency. Turn up the fuel without a turbo and lose efficiency as well as creating black smoke. Add a turbo and turn up the fuel and you gain hp,
