Full Throttle

You are using the turbo even at mid throttle settings.
In fact, they idle at something like 20,000 RPMS. The
turbo is very reliable and should not be of concern.
Driving the car hard on occassion is actually kind of
good for it.

The only possible problem I can think of is if the timing belt
was not replaced at 70K miles. This is very important.
Check the records for this. If no records, check the timing
belt cover for a sticker indicating when it was replaced.
Get the help of a mechanic if you can't determine this yourself
or are not sure if the previous owner maintained the car "by
the book".
