Not necessarily, but a person that decides to randomly turn up boost without supporting mods puts added stress on the motor parts. An engine slightly out of balance can wear parts more than normal that could show up as shavings of metal in oil filter or on the magnetic tip of drain plug if equipped. Detonation is the one I'd be most concerned about. This can be seen as little putting marks on top of the pistons. Not all pistons will have equal detonation as it is a combination of timing, fueling, and cooling. In short, be mindful, and buy modded cars from trusted folks. There's nothing wrong with buying a modded car, and can save you a boatload of money if done well. It can cost you a boatload if done poorly.
