i ran stock intake valves with upgraded exhaust valves before but that was more of one time deal but it worked fine. I was talking larry at endyn and he really stated that the intake was going to be fine on a turbo car is usally the exhaust that will see the extreme heat and would need some stainless or coated style valves.

I've seen over 400hp on stock valves many times. As long as the tune up is good then you shouldn't have enough heat in there to melt valves. You should know how to tune now, so you're set!

hmmmm....I kinda disagree, there isn't a whole lot of difference if there's any in EGT of NA or Boosted cars. There has been a test run of EGT between NA and boosted cars and at the most are prolly less than 60-80 degrees celcius, not enough to melt any valves.

Highest EGT out of stock NA cars are about 750ish, and boosted cars with avg Lambda are about 780-800 degrees celcius.
