i think you and i have different definitions of salvageable

like hypothetically speaking if i were FI, replacing an intercooler and piping wouldnt cost too much if god forbid something happens to the front and i was at fault, but since the turbos are salvageable chances are the car can be fixed, however if i were to get into an accident so bad that the entire kit needs to be replaced, the car is pretty much toast and it would be time for me to upgrade

i dont know if that makes any sense but thats how i have always seen things with my cars, now having the extra insurance might be worth it if the car was stolen that way you are not out 15k for all the upgrades you spent
