you will DEFINATLY need a compression test. but with 230k it is a little iffy to boost due to how many miles are on it. i would HIGHLY recommend buyin a 98+ 5s and going from there. and it IS possible to do it for 1000 but youd really have to find some deals. IMO spend the money and make it worth while, dont cheap out.

Cheap, Fast, Reliable
Pick 2.


i also recommend Water/Meth injection, Devilsown make a great kit, its about 230 bones. Most of us on here who have it just run 50/50 meth and water windshield washer fluid. but definatly worth it. it will help prevent engine knock.

id only be running low boost like 7-8psi if anything ill just go for it if i loose the block ill just replace it right now theirs no leaks and no smoke

is there a big difference between wastgates and bovs? whats a more resemble choice i like the supersonic cuz the loudness but could i run a bov and a wastgate?

if you blow it up you could possibly be losing more then just the block. which in the end will cost even MORE money. get a compression test done and post the results. I personally wouldnt turbo my car if it had 230k, its kinda like askin for problems.


you HAVE to run a BOV and a wastegate. a BOV basically just releases pressure. and wastegate realeases exhaust pressure.
