I'm looking to get a new turbo kit for my car, and right now i'm pushing about 69,400 miles on it. Is it standard to rebuild the engine or upgrade it slightly or are the stock internals fine? Also i was wondering how much can the stock engine go for? is cap at 100,000? Oh yeah by the way looking into buying the agp stage 3 delta complete kit.

these can run forever if you take care of them


stock motor is rated to 400-450hp i believe.


Just rebuild it to stock unless you plan to go crazy!


I have big wheel stage3 for sale

"If it aint broke don't fix it."
If someone did even a decent job of maintaining it then I'm sure it has plenty of life left in it. If you want to get a rough idea you can just run a compression check on it.
