What would you do?? (Hopping-up old engine)

[97GSTAUTO]

Alright. My engine has 146k on it. I did a compression test and it reads 170-170-167-170. I want to put a t28 on it and make some where around 275-300hp. I dont want to get a new turbo just to have the engine blow up on me on my way to work(assuming that i tune it properly) So do I. A. have the engine rebuilt. Or B. Go ahead and get the T28.

That compression is great becaue it doesn't vary from cylinder to cylinder.

Get the t28, as long as it is tuned correctly your motor will last.

Get the turbo, you have tons of life and miles left in your engine.

That compression is top notch! You will be fine with a t28 and a tune.
