When do you guys think its too late to install force induction, mileage-wise? Assuming the car has been taken care of, tune-ups, oil changes, etc...

 

Never too late as long as your compression is still up to par...

when it comes down to BOOST, the more mileage, the better. cuz when u blow the engine or tranny, u wont regret it beause u simply didnt loose much . after havin all ur fun and blowin the motor/tranny, u sell the turbo/ sc and get some of the money back

 

as long as you do it right and get it tuned, you engine wont blow....as for the tranny, is all up to if youll blow that or not by your driving habits

Compression test will show all !!!

how do you do the Compression test?
and what is the Compression the car should be at?

 

buy a compressor tester from a local auto parts store...runs $20 for the cheap ones and like $75 for a really good one

It's 10:1 for our cars

 

No stock is 210 accross the board...

The most important thing about checking compression is that numbers accross the cylinders are close to each other

bad compression will show up with even one cylinder being different from the others...

I got a 240 with 138,000 which will get turboed with about 140,000 miles. If you going to turbo a car it has to work perfect without any hesitations or anything. Also you need to have some techincal now how, unless you wonna pay $hit load of money for the repairs which you will need every other week.

 

you gotta pay to play

 

sounds good, i'll look into compressor testers then
