Default should i turbo my EM1? need tips

i own a 2000 SIR CDN model ( SI to US )

well this is my delema right now.

i can pick up a full kit for cheap. no name brand.... just gathering of parts
the thing is, i drive on the highway alot... and i was wondering if this will affect my reliability??

it will be running stock internals at a safe boost level running under 7lbs no more... as i dont want to pooch the motor.

im a bit nervous about it blowing up.
but the guy i talked to is from Hamilton ONT Canada and he Turboed his Lude, and it ran great.... this guy seems like he knows whats he is talkin about. he told me........ as long as i dont go boost hungry i wil be ok for reliability! and this guy beats his CAR

now for all motor.
i know that since i drive on the highway alot, i can justify the things ive done with my car and know what it will do.
if i go all motor it will be just like BOLT ON's not crazy.....

so what do you think i should do????
i really want a sleeper EM1.

Turbo seems that route. man im so confused... all b/c of my daily driving to work and back...... and im afraid of blowing it up

if i boost it, i wont go crazier then that! just something fast
