Aftermarket turbo kits often have small, stupid problem from time to time. Such as hose couplings coming loose or intercooler piping vibrating against something. They are easy fixes usually, but in general, adding a kit like that is basically adding several new potential failure points that didn't exist before. It's not that it's unreliable, but rather that there are more things that could go wrong.

Obviously a solid install is key in minimizing this, but it's also the reason why aftermarkket turbo kits should only be installed once the owner of the car is somewhat mechanically savvy. You do not want to be running (or towing rather) back to a shop just to fix some little issue that could have been done in your driveway in 5 minutes. I exprerienced this the hard way many moons ago. Seeing as you have time, spend it by learning about how the system works as well as from other people's experiences. It'll save you a great deal of headache in the long run.

Good Luck!
