Not having any turbo experience I hesitate to give an opinion on this but
here's my take on it.

*If* you are not "mentally comfortable"  with the theory of operation of a
turbo and it's control (primarily wastegate), I would not even think of
using a turbo unless someone had already developed an "idiot-proof"
installation.  We are not even close to this.

This is not meant to discourage anyone from using a turbo  but it is
imperative that you develop a good mental model of how it works prior to
leaving the ground.  This is not hard to do.  Just a basic understanding and
few good ground rules about wastegate operation is all it should take.
