Default Daily Driven Turbo

I have a guy that says you can't have a daily driven modified car. He says that's it's always gonna need repairs of some sort every week or month. What do you think about his opinion on modified cars. He says I can't run a daily driven Turbo without problems.

You could tell him of the multitude of cars made by Volkswagen, Subaru, Volvo and many others that build cars stock as daily driven turbos...

Yes thats true, but our honda's have aftermarket turbo's. those of us that are turbocharged know that any aftermarket engine that is turbo will require additional maintanance as well as compromise the reliability of the engine.

Agreed. He didn't specify aftermarket turbos. But really at boost levels equal to factory turbos (4-6psi?) how much extra maintenance are we talking?
