150k LS w/turbo
do you think my 150,000 mi ls could handle 5-7 psi, did a leak down test 7% leakage on 2 cylinders and 10% leakage on the other 2. my mechanic said those for very good numbers for the miles

Re: 150k LS w/turbo (vtecsiqt)
You could but you won't be getting as much power compared to another turbo LS with 1% leakdown or something.
My advice would be to put in new piston rings..or just get pistons/rods/rings all at once while you have the block worked on.

Re: 150k LS w/turbo (mercury)
i got 129,000+ miles on my LS and im still boostin 5lbs. just be good to your car... dont over-do it and it should be fine. im pretty sure your leakdown tests are way better than mine. my engine has been abused. im going to need a new one soon. go for it... turbo is cool. your motor should be able to take it. provided that you tune it and maintain it daily.
