I consider those to be wear items. That's not even close to $10,000 per year. I had the car for 5 years and that comes to much less than $1,000 a year which is not bad.
I had the turbos and HPFP replaced under warranty.
If you can find a car that has had those items taken care off then you should be ok. Its not as bad as people make it out to be.

the solution: make it NA ITB without DI
yeah the motor itself is decent but everything on it or around it fucks up.
IIRC forged crank on the N54
