Mine had about that mileage and I was pushing 10 with a stock exhaust when the rear rotor said "bye bye". Only mod was an open intake.



Every engine is different so your question is hard to answer.



It would hep if you laid out your whole setup. Or are you all stock?



Cheers

GO easy, motor is already probably getting tired. I'd suggest start using premix regardless of what you do with boost, should help extent the life a bit more. beware of fuel cut if you start jacking up boost.

put a bigger fuel pump in as well. also send your injectors off to get cleaned prof. someone like rc engineering. I have 167,000 miles on my stock tII and regularly boost it to 10 psi.

If you start with the weak link (fuel starvation) that will set you up for future mods.
