Too much mileage for Turbo Bolt on?
Hi Guy,
I'm new to Scion Life, had a question. I have a 08 Gen 2 XB and was looking at the Descendant bolt on Turbo kit and I have 35,000 miles.
Am I too late in the game for good results or should the engine respond well?
Thanks for any advice!

what kit do you have, and thx for the replies guys. Also any reviews on the descendant they asking for 4k, but I'm guessing probably worth 100bhp with a 5 speed. I want to throw my steel wheels with hub caps back on to punk a few cats, haha..

Not many people on SL have the Descendant kit. I haven't personaly seen a thread, "Here's my Descendant kit". Or any first hand reviews other than the descendant sponsors hailing it. No doubt its a great kit imo though. Just don't think many people want to spend 4G's for a kit that's internaly wastegated and utilizes the stock airbox.

Boost it! Im over 37k right now and putting together a custom kit and plan to be done this coming summer. So figure maybe another 1000 miles at least on the car. As long as you get a good tune and good supporting mods you should be good!

^he's got elevations old top-mount EL kit, its frickin sweet seeing the turbo mounted up high like that!
and i have his old kit! lol
im at 55k right now, by the time im boosted im probably gonna be at 60-65k, im not sweating it, as long as you took care of your motor from mile 1 with oil changes and filters, then your golden!

Im close to 35k with the last 10k on a descendent kit. No complaints, since adding 3"exhaust I can spin the wheels in the first 2 gears without trying and even third gear requires gentle throttle control getting off the clutch. No more power will be of any use without a lsd and or boost control.

BTW, the WR kit made 400whp on 91 octane. Not too shabby for an internal WG setup using the stock airbox. I suppose if 400whp isn't enough you should look elsewhere.

You haven't even broken her in yet. So long as the engine is healthy, passes a leak down and compression test, BOOST AWAY!
