depends on how well the car was taken care of. My car had 92k miles, but was in very good shape.

Depends on how well the car was taken care of.

We have a '94 Turbo LS at the shop with 186K on the odometer, threw on a Turbonetics T3/T4 9psi and has been running that setup for 8 months no problems. No oil burning or anything.

Motor was taken care of and the turbo was installed and tuned properly.

Teh win.
