Default with a turbo, what internals need to be done?

Im not planning this anytime soon but was wondering what else id need to upgrade so my car doesnt die , cuz my car is a pretty much daily driver too. so far ive come up with fuel system, injectors, pretty much all the internals? what else? and also how roughly how much $(usd) if i wanted to leave the car at like 350ish hp daily hehe

depending on the condition of the stock motor, it is safe to boost on it. however if you want reliability on the stock motor, i would highly reccomend a GOOD engine management set up , such as uberdata, hondata, aem EMS.. something along the lines of a stand-alone, and some tuning.

ok, so if i run it at minimal boost and the motor is in good shape then i wont need to upgrade pistons or internals or anything?
