Our throttle body is in no way plastic... it's a metal plate in a metal body attached by a metal shaft. The only plastic part is the external cover for the electronics, and maybe some of the motor gears (which wouldn't see much more load under boost anyway)...

I think you might be thinking of the plastic MAF elbow which attaches to the throttle body, which would be eliminated in any conceivable turbo build anyway (since the MAF would need to be relocated).
