i need opinion about boosting my tC

so far, it has 95k on it. i figured it is not a good idea to put turbo in it because of the high mileage. it is not showing any signs of dying or whatever but what is a good option? should i..

a) get it rebuilt? then boost
b) engine swap it with same engine but lower mileage? then boost
c) trade it in for another tC with lower mileage? then boost (car was just bought 6 months ago)
d) something else i didnt think of..?

lemme know guys..thanks

Before you get flamed this question has been answered literally a million times so just as a heads up use the search function and it can definitely help answer some of the questions you may have.

To answer the question in my opinion mileage doesn't matter....its how healthy the motor is. Get a compression test to see what it measures across all cylinders.....if it comes out fine, happy boosting....if not then you may have to consider either doing a rebuild or getting another motor that's healthier. I digress

I turboed my car at 105K. Checked compression and also did a leak down test. Pressure tested my cooling system and checked all the hoses on the car. I currently have ~115K on the car and its been running well. I only put about 5K on the car a year. Make sure you get a good tune. I took my car to PTuning and it runs great. Im replacing my turbo soon and will be doing a compression test again to make sure everything's ok.

Just keep in mind that at high mileage anything can happen, so be prepared to buy another engine if yours craps out, or save up for a re-build. Good Luck! And enjoy the Boost!
