I'm at 187K I think I am way to late, but is there a chance at all of seeing boost?

Best to get another engine. That's not bad for NA, but it is for a turbo application. Metal changes over time with heat, friction, etc. It's not the same metal it was when it ws "young". It's gotten weaker and more brittle inside.Think of making an 80 year old run a marathon.

LOL, so true. Thanks guys for the input. I guess I should save up for a 3sgte swap. I want to do it sooo bad, but still in school.
