Cool How many miles on your boosted motor?

As the subject states! How many miles do you have on your boosted motor? Also how many pounds of boost are you running? I ask this because there are so many horror stories of blown motors from running low boost in both G35 and 350Z. I currently have a n/a G35, but I also own a 91 Mustang that has had a turbo on it for 5 years now that runs about 15 psi of boost max at 6200 RPM. I have 35000 boosted miles on it since the turbo kit install and a total of 60000 total miles on the motor.....

13000 miles roughly. 15000 total miles on the engine.


From everything I have read about Mustangs, and I have a shop friend here in town that mods them quite frequently, the stock internals can take much more on a mustang. The mustang community also has a wealth of different tuning options to work with. All of which can result in more and safer boosted WHP.
