Im really having second thoughts on turboing my car. I have 187,000 miles on a stock F22. do you think it will hold up past 200K on 6PSI? The bad thing about this is, I have already bought my manifold, turbo, wastegate, and intercooler.

Do a compression test.
That should let you know how good your motor is, right now.
Turbo`ing that bad boy on weak compression or off numbers is not a good sign.
Either way, you could turbo your current motor. It blows up? buy a replacement F22B DOHC. Turbo that. That blows up? get another F22B!
They are relatively inexpensive motors...

If everything is maintained well boosting the motor should be fine. Get a compression check as mentioned that will tell you more than enough info.

Thank you all, I am seeing that most of you think that it will be ok, but to be on the safe side ill take your advise and hopefully do a compression check this weekend "my brother has the compression checker" I was going to do one like a couple weeks ago, but my spark plug wire on cylinder 4 is messed up. You can pull off the boot, but it just slides up the wire and, the wire stays connected. Do you think I should just pull the wire? Im only asking because I dont really feel like buying new plug wires when I have like no money.

If you have "no" money wait till you do have some, then go turbo! New plugs and wires are MAINTANENCE! if you cant do that you arent ready for turbo!
