Default I'm so freakin close to buying the turbo kit of procivic.com - Worried through

This is the one - http://www.procivic.com/pages-....html

I'm just worried my car engine won't be able to handle it. It has 100,000 miles on it currently. I wrote procivic and they said I could put the kit on the car like that. Doesn't sound write to me, of course I don't know much about engines though.
What do you guys think?

if you are worried do a compression test, and a really good inspection of your engine bay to look for indications of future troubles like fluid leaks. If everything seems fine after doing that I wouldn't worry to much just make sure you have enough cash left over to fix little problems that are bound to pop up... I turbo charged a prelude that had close to 180,000 miles on it, and everything went fine until the oil pump went bad then it was still a pretty easy fix. Just be gentle on it for a while

Oh and I would ask around about the turbo kit I am not to familiar with pre assembled kit because both of my turbo projects have been DIY kits that my roommate and I built from the ground up, but I haven't heard to much about this particular kit on the forums so you might find that more people would recommend going with dezod's kits

always budget more when going into a turbo installation.

for the price that the guy above is saying he'd sell you his almost complete kit, i'd recommend that over this procivic.com stuff that most of us haven't' heard of. many of us have heard of dezod, not too much bad stuff coming from them, procivic.com? you're on your own there...

i think you should do a k20 swap though .

either way, be ready for LOTS of downtime.
