How many miles did you have on your KA before you turbo-ed it? i've been debating what to do to my s13 once i find a decent one in the atlanta area, but i've been seriously looking into turboing the KA. the only concern i would have is wheter it would be worth putting a turbo on an old engine cuz that's all i seem to be finding on these 10 year old + cars.

If i find alot of people putting turbo's on engines that are close to 75k, i might actually do it!

Search around there was a thread a few days ago with your same questions. And yes there are people running turbo KA's ranging from 70k to 200k miles on the stock motors.
