Engine reliability with turbo?

Engine reliability with turbo?
OK so I drove a turbo talon at the end of last summer and it really made me want to put a turbo in my miata. Now I am not wanting to go whole hog yet since I won't have the cash to replace my clutch and diff. So I just want to put a greddy type kit on the car for a bit of extra oomph and fun this summer.
The most important thing is that my car run reliably and that I am able to drive it all summer. Since driving the car stock is a hell of a lot more fun than the car being broken down in the garage.
My car is a 91' stock 1.6 and the motor according to the speedo has about 200,000. Not having driven any other miata to compare with, I think the car runs strong, starts every time, doesn't leak oil, may burn a little.
Will I be okay putting a greddy type kit on it and not break anything as long as I don't drive all crazy?

Like turbored said..if the motor is in good shape the Greddy kit is a good start. Back in the day when I rolled when andyfloyd he beat the pee out of his car and it ran forever on that kit. I would suggest to do a compression test, cylinder leakage before.
