Default boosted hx?

i can get a turbo built for $500 or less, is it worth doing this to my stock hx motor? i have 145,000 miles, i dont have to worry about blowing the bitch to pieces do i?

I would imagine you'd be fine as long as you don't go crazy with the boost. I always see folks say the stock internals can handle 200ish horsepower.

So be safe, tune properly, and have fun I think is what you should do.

i wanted to put a new motor in, but im thinking if i could just boost for now, thatd be damn fun, and then in the future, if i feel like i need something faster i can get a new motor, ummm, yeah, i was thinking mini me, but people were telling me compression would be way to high to do anything else, well, thanks for the input, anyone else? but thanks for the input maness
