I've been thinking lately about just turboing my stock F22 instead of a swap. But the problem is my F22 has about 220+ miles on it. BUT....the car belonged to my mother, who was the original owner. And the car's never been in an accident, always inspected on time, blah blah blah........ So would it still be a bad idea? I mean over time I would replace things like the cam and pistons and what not, so it could possibly hold up right?

Ok thanx, cuz the turbo kits around for the F22 are fairly cheap and the labor on it will probably be a lot cheaper than a swap. Then I can have a sleeper. What kind of bhp do you think I can get? If the compression and leak down test comes out good is 225 safe?'94 JDM H22A: 178whp 146wtq
