stock engine, upgraded turbo?

Hey guys i have a question. Is it possible to an upgraded turbo/methanol kit with a stock head SAFELY (lets say only apr head studs)((other mods include: tbe, hard piping, retuning, intake,mbc, walbro fp)).. or do i need my head built/ at least cams? If so what kinda of turbo kit would i buy for my 03 evo and any other advice? Thanks

My car has had an upgraded turbo for almost a year now putting down just over 400whp (no alcy,no race fuel). I drive it every day to work and back and have had no problems at all. I think the big thing is having it tuned right. Make sure to get it DYNO tuned.

It is a 'add-on' kit that sprays alky into the engine intake via UICP mounted nozzle.
Basically, the alky acts like high octane fuel and cools the air charge suppressing knock/detonation so you can run higher boost levels.
