Good question. I have relatively high miles too and I want to boost, but don't want to spring for new internals.

I have heard/read that 5-7psi would be Ok for stockers, but that didn't take into account high milage motors.

Follow my Turbo Time thread as I am doing a turbo kit on my 94 si with a whopping 170k miles. All stock motor. Stock injectors. Stock timing belt and clutch. (the timing belt will be changed before the boost though)
