I don't think your turbo will get killed so much as your whole motor if you try to upgrade this stuff without engine management. I would go with an ECUTek reflash over the TurboXS.

Don't be cheap, do it right or don't do it at all.

Get the cobb accessport will save you money and you can then put that towards the installation of your turbo and injectors.

As long as you use the exact mods with your map, an AP isn't dangerous. It's a good option for those who have no interest in tuning themselves or in exploring many different mod paths.
