I think with mild boost the engine could be more reliable. I say that because at least in my case, when my car was NA, I would routinely rev it to redline to get any power. And always keep it above 4k rpm just to stay out of the dip. I would bounce of the rev limiter daily. I looked like a real douce. That all ended after I got my ESC. Granted it only gives me 5 lbs of boost, but I pretty much never go over 5k rpm because that's where I run out of torque. I've gone over 200,000 boosted miles and expect to go another 200,000.
