If you don't? 

It'll be fine as long as it has oil supply and you use good oil. Wouldn't hurt to get an aftermarket oil feed line as well.

That's what most of us bought our cars for mate...to give it a bit/lot

In varying degrees of occurrence from 'every now' and then to 'always'

 

As rob83r says, decent oil, change regularly (<7500K), always warm it up to proper temp before giving it WOT, and read this thread RE turbo oil feed line:

I use nulon full syn in 10w40. It's fairly cheap and you need about 6.5 litres per change. 

Most guys use an earls kit for their feed line. 

They're on eBay. There's a difference between ba-f to fg-x. Not sure what that is but the kits are priced different. Could be thread sizes. 

I got mine from a wholesaler near me for $110 with the inline filter. I think mine is a touch longer than the earls style. I ran mine away from the block towards the header tank and down to the turbo. This keeps a lot of heat out of the line. 

Pics in my build thread.
