miles have nothing to do with it. You need to get a compression check.Kevin

dunno who you are, but you are absolutely right. You could have 50k on a motor with no compression = no boostOriginally posted by TheUnit
or 150000 with 200 psi across the board = good to go.
Just check the compression, be sure to open the throttle up and if you get 180+ in all four, you should be alrightComment

I didn't have to, worked just fine for me.Fixing a Saturn can be like reaching into a bag of scorpions and hoping for the tootsie roll.
AMR coilovers w/pillowball mounts, AMR FTB, AMR RST, Quaife, ACT clutch, HR con rods with JPC max bore pistons, Thermal exhaust, Hotshot header, AEM CAI, and I just want to run around tearing my cloths off, screaming beligerently, and spitting, and twitching, and foaming; because its finally done.Comment

this may be a stupid question but i was told i need low compression for a turbo and you guys are saying i need high compression, so which is it do i need high compression to do a turbo in serenity or do i need low compression for her? i am confused. please help me[quote author="jay96 sl"]looks like kirby that got high on meth or something[/quote]<br /><br />Comment

i'm no expert here, but i belive you need a lower compression ratio? ie 10:1 or some crap like that.
yeah i'm totally in the wrong forum. back to DNE!lawd it's been a long timeComment

when they talk about "low compression for a turbo", they are talking about the compression the engine is set up to have.
when you do a compression check, you are checking to see if the engine HOLDS the compression that it is set up to have, or if pressure is leaking out somewhere. You don't want pressure leaking out somewhere.SaturnSeries.net Owner

Here read this http://www.turbosaturns.net/articles/ia ... %20faq.htm
"High mileage does NOT automatically mean the engine is in any worse condition, but it is more likely. One way to test if your engine is in good condition is to compression and leak down test it. Any shop can do it for you easily, or you can buy the tools to do it yourself from your local parts store. Compression should be between 180 and 210. Anything lower and your engine may not be a good motor to put extra strain on."Kevin
