headgasket problems are mostly caused by not bleeding the coolant properly or running so much boost that the heads lifting.
i would highly reccommend anything upwards of 28 psi you should be using arp headstuds to prevent lift.
revving too high with too much boost is the other big killer as the connecting rods simply cant deal with the strain of trying to squash 25+ psi worth of air and fuel at 5k+ rpm.
other than that the xud can take an amazing amount of abuse aslong as you warm it up properly and regular oil changes
I see I see wasn't aware if the guys running big power had done engine work thought they were all on standard engines.
I'm sure it would be pretty hard to drive tamely with big power I know the boost kick from a relatively standard dturbo is addictive I can only imangine what big power would be like
