Should i do it, 280,xxxkm and doesn’t burn any oil. how long will it last…any predictions, 5 minz…10 minz…1 day? its a 14b turbo runing 8 psi
2 minutes with tuning
upon ignition w/o tuning :giggle:
as long as everything’s in tact, I think it’ll hold for a little while…
IMO keep a spare engine ready 
since the motor has gone through so many heat cycles the metal has essentially been heat treated so it may not be as bad as you think as for the block itself yet all of the other major componets better be rebuilt/reinforced
slapping on a turbo = disaster
Do a compression/leakdown test. We do these tests on any motor we put a turbo on, and if the numbers look good, have at it…
Good luck with that.
IMO, do a compression test, and then a leak-down test.
(Then after that, no matter what the results are, atleast buy new piston rings, crankshaft and rod bearings, head gasket, and all new engine seals. Then commence boosting.)

i used to hate the kids in high school who would sit there while the teacher explained something, then as soon as the teacher was done, raise their hands and say “so what you’re saying is…” and proceed to say exactly what the teacher just said for the past 30 minutes.
we used to cover those kids in ketchup at lunch and leave them outside for the crows.
I boosted mine with 255,xxxkm on it. compression was 175 175 178 175. it lasted about 8,000km before it blew up. I was running low octane too. ended up with 180 180 0 165 for compression.
you’re flirting with disaster either way. if you have a spare block, just boost it. if not, rebuild it.
