Depends on how you go about getting the extra power like you can't just bolt a turbo on and run 20psi and expect it to last

you gain power and torque but sacrafice a smooth idle for a rough idle depending on how violent the cam is .theres so many different options or you can get a custom one made to suit your engine.

What a crazy 2 weeks it would be !! Might wanna look into water/meth injection too, timing becomes a massive problem on a high comp motor running high boost...
