I'm wanting to eventually do a turbo project on my ST. The only thing is, my engine has about 136k miles on it right now and I won't have the money to do this for quite awhile. I was wondering if you guys think it would be worth it to turbo my engine w/ this much mileage.
I'm also planning to rebuild beforehand. |

I would say no, reason being your engine is "over the hill". It will wear alot quicker throwing on some forced induction.
But if you can rebuild the motor to take a beating then yea that'l work. Then again the best part of having a car is to push the limit, do what you think(within reason) is worth it. This post has been edited by 5sfeTurbo: Oct 7, 2003 - 3:04 AM |
