yea the milage really doesnt matter so long as your compression test comes back with some healthy numbers. You can easily throw 10psi at it with a smaller turbo. these sites will provide you with any and all answers you may be looking for, provide the means to research a turbo setup before you get into it.

but its always best to rebuild a motor b4 you turbo unless its a fresh rebuild or a low mileage engine...rebuilt it now and then you can boost more in the future
