Turbo?
I have 86k miles on my car, im very much concedering turbo to meet my goals for my car. Do you think its safe for me to boost? what steps should i take to determine if my car will be able to handle the extra power?
BTW my car is a 98GSR and i dont think i will push more that 7 psi.
Any sugestions would be great im still trying to learn more about FI SO PLEASE GIVE ME KNOWLEDGE!!!!!!!!

Re: Turbo? (Cramerox)
Your car should be fine with those miles, just make sure you do a compression test. I think 200 is about optimal for the GSR, but not sure. If you do decide to go turbo invest in a block guard. It's not necessary, but helps to keep you from blowing your engine.

Yeah, I'd think you'd be fine, as well. Also, think about doing a Leak Down test. Sounds like most of your miles are highway miles-86K in 3+ years...

Re: Turbo? (integracon)
Im glad in getting some positive feedback from you all. I know sometimes all these newbie questions can be a pain.
Your right those are freeway mile From drive back and forth from school.
My other queation was i saw that Jeff if i got his name right, is selling a kit for about 2500. I was concedering this setup since the quality seems to surpasses the price?
LEAK DOWN TEST> COMPRESSION TEST > BLOCK GAURD > SYTHETIC OIL

Don't bother with a block guard for 7 psi. That will just concentrate heat at the edges of the combustion chamber and impede coolant flow. You won't need a block guard for that low of a boost.
