Default How much reliable power can you get from an RS turbo?

Hello everyone, im not a regular poster on PF but i come on here pretty much every day. Im looking to buy a s2 RS turbo this year as i have wanted one since i was a little boy. The thing that has always stopped me is reliability and not trusting them as an every day car.
I must admit the more i read about them the more i have started to realise you can have a good reliable rs if it's well maintained and set up right.
In the past i have had many car's such as Nova 2.0, Sierra cosworth 4x4 which was stage 3 and load's of other car's which took lot's of abuse. So without beating around the bush too much im wondering what sort of power i can get from an RS turbo without having too much reliability issues, it will be a 2nd car and only come out on nice day's but when it's out it will be used fairly hard, not driven like it's stolen. but i do like to use a car for what it was intended for. sorry if i have rambled on.
