Default can you teach an old dog new tricks?????

i did just get my hands on my itr and im currently battling an oil loss problem, dont worry i think ive narrowed it down and it shouldnt be a bother ne more...my question now is...... by the time i save up enough money to get a turbo ect.. there will prolly be somerwhere in the vicinity of maybe close to 100,000 miles.... is that too much to think about turboing it.... of coarse i ll be expecting to be rebuilding and add sleeves...will that be good enough or is there just to many miles

take your itr motor out and but a b18b1 and boost, you will make up to 300hp with a good tune and good turbo kit sorry but i see no point in boosting a itr motor when you can buy a LS swap for 800 bucks or less and beat the hell outta that motor rather then spending money on sleeving and building a itr motor when its still going to blow, fully built does not mean anything, something will break sooner or later btw my buddy just spent $4000 getting his car FIXED! btw its a fully built turbo set up

You will contract every disease known to man if you turbo a B18c5. Just warning you ahead of time. It's not worth it.

if you are going to rebuild the bottom end, the current mileage on the bottom end doesnt matter, assuming there is no damage. everything important should be replaced anyway. Id be more worried about valve guides and seals, or piston rings, if you are losing oil.
