You can, but if you run over 7 PSI your rings amongst other things could go pretty quick. Do a compression test and make sure all the numbers match up and are still at a good rate and go for it! Bost RoXxX

just have a engine repair fund ready in case you blow it up 10 seconds after it's installed and up and running....

(I needed that fund.... rings gone in less than a minute, car had 20k miles on it... trust me... it only takes one boost spike to 14psi and a fuel line to pop off under boost and it's all over.... )

I had mine @ 125,000 milez and the car was running for 2 weeks then smokes started coming out even tuned. I learned, and of course got my motor fully built and sleeved and guarded with brand new everything (fuel, water, oil pumps, pistons, rods, bore to 85mm etc.)

I think it's better if you spend the money and build the motor instead of going crazy with the turbo. With the money, you can built top to bottom without sleeved, but hey, it's better with low compression =D

No problem as long as your motor is in good working condition. Make sure all your maintaince work is done and probably do a compression test. My buddy has 150k on his turbo GSR with 8k miles and has not had any problems. Just make sure your fuel is right. But you will be okay as long as you dont go boost crazy.
