It depends.
If you turn up the boost on a stock turbo, you are likely to push it into a range that it's not very efficient and will blow hot air into the engine. A larger aftermarket turbo can drop the temperatures a bit, which will be better for the engine.
But if you turn up the boost and get the fuel or spark settings wrong, you can cause detonation, which ranges from bad to catastrophic depending on how tough your enegine is. So turbo tuning is something where it is rather easy to damage an engine if you get things wrong.

Believe the other responders in cautioning you against a non-stock turbo. Turbo engines are part of a complete engine, drive train and chassis package, not just a turbo add-on. The MazdaSpeed3, with its direct injection 2.3L turbo engine, is particularly difficult to modify - at least right now. If you are asking about retro installing the turbo into a lower line Mazda 3, avoid this expensive, complex and unfulfilling experience.

Factory builds the engine for the Turbo standarts so the engine can work with the turbo safely. Putting Turbo on your car means more care for the engine, get a little turbo, tune it right, change your oil every 2.000 miles, watch the heat and you will be fine. But do not be surprised if you blow a piston or burn a piston ring.

Yes, it can be. An engine equipped with a turbo from the factory is engineered for the added loads that the turbo will place on the engine. One that is not factory equipped with a turbo may not stand up well over time with the extra loads.

Depends on whether the car had a turbo from the factory.
The only engines that can support a turbo are engines designed for them.
The whole purpose of a turbo charger is to get more air (thus, oxygen) into the combustion chamber to give you a bigger pop.
The problem is; if your car was not designed to run with a turbo, the compression ratio is going to be to high for the engine's design. All the other systems are not designed to accommodate the higher compression, and you're asking them to perform beyond their design parameters.
Run premium gas . . . and good luck.

Almost always bad. Its great fun, but any turbo on a small engine will wear it down faster. Even if it came like that from the factory. There are several other mods you can do for performance instead of turbos though.

you will possibly not comprehend it yet Audi and all different euro autos require ecu grade engine oils and NO valvoline ever. this boundaries you to easily engine oils that carry the VW/Audi spec numbers 502/505 on the label. Euro gasoline and oil are diverse from ours. Mobil One 0W-40 is one among them. The professional Audi oil is Ravenol and there are different Euro oils like Motul. finished means from France. Liqui-moly and Pentosynth. Turbos are made to airplane specs and with the properly suited airplane spec oil will in basic terms not positioned on out. Audi has Oil Spray Jets and oil rigidity administration valves for the two heads. Shitty wax based oil ALWAYSales tar coke sludge and wax. Then BAKES it into engine areas like swifter bearings the place it extremely is excessively warm. that's not the swifter. yet undesirable oil that ruins issues. I had 2 suited Audi swifter autos that had 0 swifter matters by way of fact I used in basic terms Euro spec oil in them. Even AMSOIL makes a suited Audi oil stable for 25 ok miles between differences. you ought to use Amsoil means Foam to do away with COKE

Turbo engines are designed at the factory to carry the extra hp, if you add one to a stock engine there is a good chance you will blow the head gaskets,unless you make some serious upgrades. :(

No no no...Anytime you put a turbo on a car it's a good thing.
As long as it's not a crappy car. You can't polish a turd.
