well i want to go turbo theres know doubt about it!! but heres the thing i have about a 135000 miles on my motor. it still runs very strong. i am sraying at a 50 shot. but i want boost. so heres the thing do you think it will be safe enough for me to run about 5 psi daily and aboout 7-8 psi when i run it at the track. im going to do a compression check first, what kinda of numbers should i get. it's going to be a custom kit, intercooled and im looking at a t3 maybe even a t3-t4. the vortech fmu and upgraded fuel pump, missing link, etc. thanks in advance any help would be apprecitated. thanks agin.

Yes...If the compressionm numbers are good you should go turbo hey even if there bad , go ahead and turbo the car so you can blow it up and rebuild it. Atleast thats what i am currently doing lol.

if i had the money i would do that but i don't so i wont try and blow the motor, i need my car!!! and what kind of numbers should i get on the compression check? thanks again!!

I'm not sure what the numbers should be, but I know you want them all to be within like 10% of each other...

I think on a motor that's in good condition with stock compression the numbers should be between 210-215. But like he said ^^^^ as long as they are relatively the same you should be okay, like if they are all around 190-195. I've heard all your #'s should be within 5-10% of each other.
