I have always been nervous about buying a car with a turbo. ??? Do they beef up the lower end and the top to handle the extra RPM? But I bought mine a few months ago anyway. Luv’in it.

Factory turbo engined cars are absolutely built to deal with the added load of boost and low-rpm torque etc. They will run lower compression ratios, sometimes having forged internals, generally quite different valve timing, etc when compared with NA engines. There's a lot more to creating a turbo-charged vehicle than just slapping a snail on the side of it. :)
