There are tons of people running T28/GT28R/GT2560R's on stock ECU's with stock pressure, so you should be fine. 30HP increase might be a bit optimistic though.
Yes, premature wear may be inevitable. The housings themselves, to my knowledge, will not cause premature wear, so that is nulled..
Turbine housing appears to be in good/decent shape.
The ONLY issue I foresee (given everything bolts up) is the balancing causing premature wear.
30hp optimistic (200-230)... bullshit, she'll nail it.
