Nope. Never. Everyone here just pays somebody to build them a zero mile monster. Homemade is just a joke about poor people that turbo their rides with junkyard parts on high mileage ---- heaps from 15+ years ago. We're all really ballers that have 5 figure checking accounts at least.

The formula goes:
Take 200,000 divide that by [(amount of boost you're going to run in psi) * 10000]
i.e. 8psi would be 200,000 / 80000. That comes out to 25. Mutiply that by 1000, we get 25,000 miles.
Now do a compression test on your motor and if it checks out go ahead and boost it.

Re: 200k+ miles with turbo?
lol some of the posts are pretty comical, i agree with the compression and leakdown test, sounds like a plan. I do however like the milage/boost equation lol. I only ask this because theres never any successful high milage builds, most like because they break, and honestly i just dont have the time to rebuild my engine. Thanks for the good stuff, and the laughs
