If you boost an engine that is showing signs of wear, you'll vastly
accelerate said wear.  Why not look for a low milage engine
as time & money permit?
You can set up manifold & plumbing on the engine stand and take 
your time.  When ready, you will have minimal downtime that way.

<HTML>If you boost an engine that is showing signs of wear, you'll vastly
 accelerate said wear. &nbsp;Why not look for a low milage engine
 as time &amp; money permit?
 You can set up manifold &amp; plumbing on the engine stand and take 
 your time. &nbsp;When ready, you will have minimal downtime that way.

 If I decide to go through with a rebuild before trying to do a turbo 
 install, what parts can you recommend that aren't too expensive. &nbsp;I can't 
 imagine any aftermarket people make parts for this engine, so how do I get 
 new high quality pistons. &nbsp;Also, If I do a rebuild, should I go to a lower 
 compression piston? &nbsp;My main problem with that is that the whole turbo setup 
 that I'm trying to design needs to be quite modular, becuase I'll have to 
 take it out one a year to pass smog (stupid california), so if I lower 
 compression, I'll still need a driveable car w/o turbo. &nbsp;Thanks in advance 
 for any help you guys can give me.
