#70808, "Turbo/Engine question"


          

ok im at 110,000 miles on my RS, im looking to get a star stage two kit. it is more finacially feasible for me to do this versus sell my car and get a gst or gsx. what kinda engine work should i get done/ have checked out

changed all my gaskets, changed timing belt, and other basic maitnence. is it feasible to put a turbo kit in a engine with that much mileage or should i just not even worry about it. anyone else have any experience with boosting an engine with this much mileage. what is general price range for an installation of turbo kit.'
I NEED BOOST DAMNIT!

Do ALL of your required maintenance and then some. Check your compression numbers and make sure they are within spec. If those both check out then boost away.

How fast do you want to go? If you LOVE your car and like working on it then check everything and go for a turbo kit.If you want an insane beast
and have a bug for speed then sell your car and buy a gst/x or just pick up a 1g for around 2-3k and hop that up and keep your car for a daily driver! Best adivce I can give.Its all up to you.
