I was looking at the Speed-Factor turbo kits and was wondering if i would be able to run the extreme turbo kit with the stock pistons and gaskets? my car has around 80,000 miles. The car is my everyday driver so i am hoping that i wont have to change the internals yet.

 

its more risky with alot of miles.. i am going turbo but i have barely 30,000 miles

 

I have 121K miles and I'm going to install turbo (but I will lower compression ratio with decompression plate)

 

If your running at low psi it should be ok I would think..

 

I am doing i lol. I have 80k miles and am turboing as soon as the kit comes in.

 

At 70k+ I would really recommend a slight rebuild at least, especially the way the Tib is geared and if you have driven it/known it was driven hard in the past.

 

Well I've had it since 20k miles and in that time I have driven it kinda hard but 95% of those miles are highway miles. I drive 120+ miles a day for work. Tranny rebuild, axles, and the whole 9 yards is next on my list after the turbo is up and running. BTW I only plan on running 5 PSI for now....

 

So I guess turbo-ing an engine with 200,000km is a bad idea?

Common sense is telling me its a bad idea, but I need confirmation./

 

Lol, In my opinion it's a bad idea. ^^ x7x

 

at the very least, I would do a leakdown test on your engine before going turbo. Just to make sure that your engine is in the best shape it can be in.
