With proper management and low boost, sure. You don't want to go much above 7psi on the GReddy kit anywho...

whats a rebuild cost?

at that much mileage, you have to keep in mind that many of the important parts are already wearing down. such as the piston rings and the bearings. with additional pressure on the motor the rings can possibly go out and eventually have to be rebuilt. also, with older bearings, the additional need for oil pressure can wear them out prematurely if not properly maintained.

other than those 2 factors, you should be able to boost that motor. just keep in mind the motor has already gone through some wear and tear and turboing it can accerate its wear, so you just have to prepare for a rebuild in the future.

complete rebuilds can go from $1000-3000 depending on how extensive you want to do the build up. check out our website for the different possible block packages you can go with in the future to get an idea on how much they cost and whats included.

my odometer is just about to hit 200K, im putting a greddy kit on it anyways, and if it blows im just gonna buy a new motor, not that expensive. i got a compression test and leak down test, everything was fine, so im gonna see hoew long this motor will last boosted :/

hes got the right idea. a d16z6 goes for something like $500
