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. |

good attitude. mostly what i was thinking initially. and another thing is that we may not be the only ones that do it, but also we will be the few that do. |
