You don't really need to build a stock turbo car too much to up the boost (if at all)...

Stock talons can run 18-20 psi on stock internals without ANY problems..

My buddy disconnected his wastegate so it wouldn't ever open... by 7k it was pushing 18psi at least... it's no good for the turbo but his engine lasted fine...

Most turbo cars have all sorts of provisions that na cars don't like stainless steel valves... oil squirters for the pistons... forged pistons... beefier rods etc...
