Im thinking id like to boost the rsx this winter, but one of my conerns is the mileage. Im up over 134,000 and before i even start to do my research id like tofigure out this issue. for gains im not looking for much. thinking 5lbs or so on stock engine. If compression tests are OK could the engine with high mileage take the turbo setup?

i turbo'd my Si with 160.xxx on it and it was fine, plus if your compression is low, just add more boost to compensate! lol :shock: 8)
