Default to boost or not to boost... help

im thinkin about boostin my car. the thing is i got about 124k miles on it. wen i got the car it had 120k miles on it, so i barely drive it. so my question is would boostin it significantly hurt the motor, and is it even worth doing? im thinkin about gettin teh greddy smog legal kit. thanks.

do a compression, and leakdown test and see what condition the motor is in before you go any further.

Is the motor running strong? Drive an identical car with less mileage and compare...
