Obviously though if you put more power through things then things can wear out a lot quicker.
There is always a trade off between power and reliability
You don't have to have a performance or free flowing exhaust but it will massively to help get the gasses out and keep EGT's down
It wouldn't of surprised me to be honest, even by today's standards D Turbo's aren't that bad... Standard engine wear is fine, just don't want my engine to give up because i'm pushing 18-20 PSi through a K14 which I've heard isn't the best turbo either...
The exhaust, as it's a standard de-cat was just thinking of a straight through back box? Also i've heard that because of the pressure difference in the exhaust when straight through can upset the turbo?
