I was just wondering... since turbos are so harsh on the engine, would it be a bad idea to turbo a car with over 215000 kilometers? (not sure how many miles that is...) or is it as long as you take the normal precautions prior to installation and do the normal maintenance after installation, it shouldn't make a difference turboing a high or low mileage car?

its not so much the milage that matters, as much as the condition of the motor overall.
do a good compression and leakdown test, if that checks out, go from there.  good luck! -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
