Default now I dont know what to do suggestions please

Ok guys I have been thinking alot on what to do. I was going to trade in my 03 touring for a new 06 touring. but I am starting to think I would rather build my engine up and slap on a turbo.

The only thing that worries me is that I have 60k miles on my car, is that a problem? What should I do, what would you guys do?

Thanks
Gilbert

It depends on your goals really. If you want to set the odometer back to 0, trade it in. If you want to take the next step on sports car ownership, build your engine and slap on the turbo(s). 60K doesn't matter if you're building the engine (replace the clutch while you're at it).

But are they rated for F/I? It's amazing the strain an extra 100 or so HP will do to a street clutch.

Well, if you got the 1200Kg clutch set you're ok there. I have no idea how well suited the aluminum flywheel is to the task. Maybe ask if others are using this combo in the F/I forum.

Running stock. Stock internals at 400 WHP with a good safe tune is no problem.
