Default Going boosted nearing 100k miles?

What's your guys opinion on going turbo with reaching high miles? I am at 68k miles right now, and planning to turbo my car in the next 3-4 months. I plan to keep the car for a long time if I do decide to turbo it so the car will have 100k in the next 2 years or so since it is my daily driver. Going to be a bottom mount turbo and running 400whp on stock internals. Would the motor be okay or should I not do this? Anyone else at high miles that is turbo?

Get a oil analysis and compression test done. If everything checks out, go for it

Honestly I don't want to go more than that. Atleast until the loan is over on the car ($6000 remaining). I don't want to somehow blow the motor and have a loan remaining on it.

I would have a leak down test and have the compression checked prior to even purchasing a kit. if all checks out well, than boost away. lol

You know when you're 20 years old you have to make some bad choices in life you will possibly later regret. Only reason I am thinking about going forward with this is because there isn't too much left on the car.

If Blackstone says you are good Oil wise, and you have good compression/leak down numbers. Go right ahead and boost away!

Focus on a good tune, and a quality turbo kit as that will play a big factor in how long the engine will last.

You're 20 so you are going to do what you want but I recommend having the following prior to boosting a NA car:

- Zero loan balance on the car
- $6-8k in cash reserve for the 'Oh shit my motor let go fund'
- You are maxing out your retirement savings (IRA/401k/etc.)
- You can pony up all the cash up front for kit/install/tune without using CC interest
