Default Gs 350 turbo installation

What are your thoughts on adding a Turbo on a 08-09 GS350 ? It's not about the power what I'm worried about. I'm just wondering if it'll stress the motor out bad? I won't be racing it daily or going crazy on the street. But once or twice a month I will. I just want to know if it'll be worth it and if there will be any bad mechanic issues because of the installation. .

Supercharging is not as simple as just slapping a turbo on the engine. Fuel delivery, ignition timing etc., etc. has to be addressed. Not worth it probably but you could check the GS350 forum......you're in the ES forum.
