need some suggestion of turbo xs utec

i am looking for the turbo xs utec, never have any aftermarket utec before. I just want to gain some more HP and still in safe range of engine and still always
like a daily driver. i just have some question about this kinda tech.
once I install it, will it always make damage to the engine than stock? or turbo?
even in safty range and decrease engine's life? I have 02 wrx and already
installed uppipe, HKS D/W HKS. catback and muffler..and BOV, K&N intake
with stock turbo, intercooler. guys can you estimate about how much HP I gain now? and after turbo xs utec? i don't really wanna make my engine work too hard
but still in good about ....280hp(not WHP)? is that possible?
thank u~~~

you have to know what you are doing

if you do not know how to tune yes you will hurt your engine if you run it too lean or too much timing

you can blow the motor easily

but if you are smart or know how to tune you should be good to go

you can blow your motor on a cobb AP too so thats not 100% either

the utec is good
i had it on my car
