Default Boost?
Is it safe to boost on a b16 with 90,00 miles on it for daily driven.

run a comp test and a leak down first, it will tell you how healthy your motor is.

more then likely yes, get a compression test, and maybe leakdown...... just get the guys installing the turbo to tell you if its a good idea or not haha.
