half shafts are pretty sturdy, it depends on how much power you're putting down.

thats possible, but it depends on the size of the turbo and the shop that dyno'ed his car.

What you "should" be boosting is dependent on a few things, not just what turbo kit is on it. Your shafts will be fine for the track, their not even a hard exchange if you need to. What I do suggest is you read around the forums and get a better understanding of the car and what it can do.
