Default Max miles before boosting?

Hi guys, at what point mileage wise should you not consider boosting? 50k? 75k? Your thoughts...

so long as the engine is in good health, it doesn't really matter. just get a compression and leak down test before hand and make sure the engine doesn't have any problems before you boost. i was supercharged at over 50k miles, and then went turbo when i was over 75k miles. right now i'm right under 90k miles, no problems.

Thanks dude just wondering. I'm near 70K and run a lot of miles annually. Always thinking about boosting but I just drive so many damn miles...

We just turbo'd a customer's tC that had 92K on it at it easily made over 300WHP with perfect compression arcorss all 4 cylinders.

Really depends on how the motor was taken care of.

One of the TC guys just re-boosted his car at 119,000 miles. He was boosted before and his recent compression check came out perfect at 193 across all 4 cyl's. I doubt you have reason to worry. Check it and then boost it! You'll wish you had done it sooner.
