Default Turbo the B18C1, do it do it!

The darkside is calling me...... I've gotten all the thrills out of my B18C1 swap in my 92 VX that I'm gonna get. I ran a best of 13.73@102mph this summer with my setup which is surprisingly minimal. I've been doing some research on turbos/superchargers and I think my decision on the turbo is final.
The block itself is a 99 B18C1 completely stock other than JUN III cams and JUN cam gears. I'm looking at a Drag III kit designed for EG hybrids - complete with the intercooler, BOV, etc. I would like to run some low to mid 12's and hope this is the answer. I would prefer not to tear the block down considering it has only 22K on it.
Will I run into any trouble since the motor has a slightly higher compression ratio than the B20 or B18B motors? Let's assume that I were to go with an out-of-the-box Drag III kit and a small amount of dyno tuning time, would the motor's life be shortened much?
