1.) that is not to many miles if you perform a compression and leak down test to insure the engine is in good working order.

2.) if you plan to upgrade internals then miles do not matter.

3.) turbo kits to look at are Greddy, Rev Hard, Turbonetics, and Edlebrock. I suggest you do a bit more research before you do this though as there are many things that it is best to know before boosting.

I agree with md. If you do some inside work. You shouldn't have any prob at all.

you dont need to do anything...but if you wanna run more than 200whp then you might wanna be upgrading the bottom end.

the head would be a good idea too, but again its not required for a mid powered street car.
