GSR + BOOST = engine damage??

I heard that if you put a turbo in a GSR there is a slight chance of severe internal
damage.(even if tuned properly)

(This could be just a stupid rumor but I just wanted to make sure wether it was true or not.)

When your reving your engine and your secondaries kick in @ 5750 rpms it blows out some air and at the same the turbo is forcing air in, this intern causes severe engine damage not sure wut but it just messes it up real bad.

Any input would be helpful since im considering FI for my car. Thanks.

Yes, it is true. No one has ever been able to make a turbo GS-R engine last longer than five minutes because of this.

what is the boost level to reach this goal, how long has it lasted (miles/months) ,what type of tuning is used any details are appreciated,
any type of aftermarket headgasket to lower compression since internals are stock
