Default should i turbocharge high milage b16a2

i was wondering what kinda tune up i would need to prepare for turbo...my stock b16a2 has roughly 186k miles...its a 97 delsol VTEC! yes i know it has crazy high miles but im thinking about turbocharging it...already have manifold and turbonetics deltagate (8psi spring) so im not complete with my custom turbo project just yet...what kinda turbo should i run t3? t3/t4? any suggestion for boosting safely...thanks!

what kinda condition is the motor in? was it taken care of?

my 91 Si is turboed on the stock D16A6 and it has 230K miles and burns 3 quarts of oil per tank of gas and it hasnt blown up yet and im running a basemap on stock fuel system.

if you use the right parts and tune it right it should be OK for a while.

it seems to have been proven that mileage is not neccesarily a sign of healthy motor...do a compression and leakdown test, if you're results are good, choose a nice setup, tune & tuner combination
