Do a compression and leakdown test on it to be sure. If that comes out good, go for it. If it does not, rebuild!

Do that to see if it'll even hold a turbo....if the number's aren't good, they'll get progressively worse with turbo.

Mine were okay at 115K miles when I put it on. Unfortunately, I spun a rod bearing at 118K miles.
