I had 114K when I installed mine, at 117K now, no problems. People have installed the kit with alot more miles then that and are running fine, just make sure the engine is in good shape prior to installation. Do a compression check. After install, keep an eye on the fuel pressure, CEL's, etc. and you should be fine.

No syuch thing as "too many miles for turbo". You're probably going to blow it up eventually anyway, so why bother to rebuild it BEFORE the turbo install? It's just a waste of money that could be buying you forged pistons and billet rods.
