Basically my topic says it all.

Its a 95 200sx ser. The owner before me was a girl The car runs strong and was well taken care of (her dad was a mechanic)..Should i check anything before i turbo it??

Or do i do internals or should i just get a new motor?

Get it compression tested.

If it runs strong and checks out, have at it!
