Stick with NA mods if you want the car to last. I'm sure the car will still run fine on low 4psi boost, but still you'll have to maintain the turbo. Even factory ones need to be serviced every so often. Then come things like replacing plugs sooner, using better gas, etc. Also there are almost always problems and tuning required. Just be sure you have extra money to spend if something should go wrong. And the SF kit has about a year wait before you get it.
