Big to the write-up, some great info

If someone had alot of money and only wanted a street use kit, would they be able to use the high budget kit? or is something like that recomended for off-street use only??

There must be alot of downsides to that kit if its for street.. you would be taking years off your engine life wouldnt u?...

Its not ment to be a "high budget kit" as such, or at all. What the post is getting at is that on a high budget you should be looking at doing everything custom.
As for the down sides to driving a high budget turbo setup on the street, i personally would be driving it to work every day or as a run around, some will disagree with me, but i still maintain this point of view. As for your engine, should last for a long time, providing it is setup and tuned correctly, and serviced regularly.

cheers
