126,000 is fine to Turbo as long as you have taken good care of it..its just gettin broken in....Do a Compression Check on your current engine and save yourself the time and Money to install an engine that may be a waste..

These VQ's are amazingly strong....worry about your Tranny before your Engine...As long as your not burning Oil and you have a good Compression Number accross each of the cylinders, then a Turbo isnt that fas off

check compression on your old engine before buying a new engine. If old engine is fine then keep it...the papermache' transmission is what you should worry about.
