Affects of Turbos on engine?

I am planning on putting an AA stage 2 or 3 turbo for my 1996 328is with 162,356 miles on it. I read that the engine blocks are made of cast iron and welcome high boost and if the engine has more miles it tends to be stronger then a newley rebuild one. So i am woundering if my engine will accomidate the hp with this many miles?

I am also curious about turbos aswell because I was told by others at a different forums that Turbos only mess up the piston rings of the egnine? I really think they are wrong because from my understanding Turbos mess up the internals of the engine and do a big number on it aswell and you relly need to do some after market changes to help the engine out to take the boost.
