Well since nobody has posted yet I will start out. I have 108k on my car, and 66k on my engine. I just got an engine from the junkyard and did a compression check and all the good stuff because my old engine clogged up and blew (Coolant line clog). I am sure there are much higher numbers than mine though.

I first put it on at 105k and am at 115k now

However, if this thread is to decide whether or not you should boost your engine instead of just a curiosity thing then you shouldn't worry about mileage. Said best a few threads down:

You shouldn't focus so much on miles, instead focus on condition. Has maintinance been kept up on the engine? Oil changes been done on time? Has the engine been beat on or has it been babied? Do a compression check on the engine, if the numbers come back good(180-220 range) then you should be ok to boost. I have 92k miles on my boosted motor, and I know there are other guys with more. Just because you have 116k doesn't mean the engine is no good.

Holy crap. I thought I had everyone beat at 119k (first boosted; about 120k now).

I got you all beat... 180K'ish miles on my bad boy before some bad tuning not on my behalf sent her to her grave...now she's fully built!!! But looking to get rid... it's a love/hate relationship...very sad, but that's not what this thread is about, is it...sorry...

I hadn't started seriously thinking about boosting Daisy (back when I was on the verge of giving in to the boost bug) until around 145k. Nowadays, I'm sitting on 184k. All motor is suuuuuure nice.

Nice good feedback everyone. I just wanted to get an idea on what other people are at since I will be putting a turbo on mine soon and I have around 143k.

I think I'll use the same tactics on you that convinced my friend with a honda to turbo...

Boost... Boost... Boost... After hearing me and my friend with an Evo say that everyday for 2 semesters, He finally gave in and bought a turbo

I have a turbo. Actually, I have two.

Daisy will remain all motor til the wheels fall off - preferrably in a 3R>4 !!.

Ahem... didn't you rebuild? In my book, the mileage goes back to zero after that point.
