Once you start boosting there is just a much bigger chance of engine failure, I just learned to live with the fact that something might happen. That being said, there are ways to reduce the possibility of engine failure, such as a lower boost and safer tunes, but always be prepared. Now to the price estimate, if you want SC, budget around 15g for the entire kit with all the gauges and accessories installed and tuned. That leaves a bit extra is for the just incase of if something goes wrong.
15k is a bit much.
For a stage 1 SC kit you need about 8-10k for everything to be safe and reliable as you can be.

Really? I thought the parts alone would be 8.5 to 9 with the kit, oil cooler, clutch, and gauges. My G is at GTM right now for the stage 2 build and I'm spending close to 15g on the whole kit.
