Too many miles to turbo?

[BGRIPTP]

Is thier a such thing as too many miles on a car to turbo it? My car has 145,000 miles on it?

Sorry if its been asked before, I did a seach but a bunch of other bs came up

Do a compresion test to see if you have decent compression. If you do it really doesn't matter how many miles you have as long as everything's still functioning properly.

I got 106 and I'm nervous...

Compression test is the only thing I can do to know?

 

[BGRIPTP]

around what should my readings be like for it to be ok to boost?

If you really got 106, then your motor is worn out. I think the limit for normal servicing is 140 or 145. It should be higher than that to think about turboing.

Make sure you did the test right with a warm engine. 106 is low but that doesn't mean you can't turbo, it just means you should be prepared to rebuild it sooner.
