Default safe to upgrade?

I am nearing 100K have had very few problems with my wrx. only just recently an o2 sensor went out. new one should be here in a couple days; once that problem is taken car of the next thing needed to done is replacing my timing belt. Im considering upgrading my turbo, i have many bolt on mods the only thing i have yet to upgrade is fuel pump, injectors, intercooler, and of course turbo. i was thinking about a tdo5 18g and getting my utec protuned. this is my daily driver, i dont really want to cause any problems. looking to make a solid 325-350whp on 93.

102k miles with an 18g (25k stage 2)

Just do a compression and leak down test and tell yourself that you have to pay to play (otherwise have a plan incase of disaster for both the engine and transmission)

Then if your compression and leakdown come back good, a good tune will dictate the engines life (Within reason <350whp)

Your transmission is all you, 325whp and not a single complaint from it.. Then again I shift like a 90 year old woman with osteoporosis and arthritis.....
