I'm still in the camp that believes that you can make forced induction rock solid reliable. I believe that if you can get the setup to run more efficiently, rather than going for higher boost numbers and mad timing advance, you can make the same power.

This would include the exhaust, larger downpipes, external wastegates, the new GT-R manifold conversion, and things people don't realize, like lightweight flywheel / pullies, and coated turbo manifolds and little things here and there. Not to mention meth injection or E85. If you can turn down the boost pressure, or reduce timing and still make the same power after adding these things, you've made the car that much more reliable.

Plus, keeping the car cool with higher oil capacity and large oil coolers will help. Short of building the motor, I'd say the VQ37 is pretty stout.
