Anything can happen when you're under boost.

Few common practices.

Change your oil every 2500 to 3k miles.

Take a flash light while the car is rack, look for leaks.

Check hoes make sure they're tight.

Don't use your 500whp VQ as a DD, it's not made to drive everyday.(the ones that do know what to expect if something goes wrong)

Not only the engine takes a total, but clutch/rear end/shocks ect.. All need to be checked every time you put her in the air.

Check boost leaks annually, and also hire a professional if need be to make the final call on inspections.

Have to think of your boosted VQ as a Rolex. If you wear it where would you want to go, and what conditions it will be in. Obviously you're not going to put her in the sand or water. If so than boost isn't for you.
Sometimes autocorrect gets it so right.
