Now if you go throwing say a 20G plus size turbo on a somewhat tired high mileage dsm engine running say 24+ psi of boost you will more than likely break some piston ring lands fairly quick.
Another thing with high mileage dsm engines are the valve guides, they are getting pretty loose at over 100000 miles and will cause some oil consumption & oil smoke, just normal wear and tear for the mileage.

jerry was on this board, but with the re-birth of the dsm board i am sure he no longer reads this one. who would blame him.

my last car has 189K miles on it and the last 49K has a big 16G on it and got the shit beat out of it. I tore that motor apart last week and everything was beautiful inside. when it was running it never smoked or leaked oil. the bearings had very little wear and the cylinders still had hone marks in them. 4G63s still amaze me.
