Default Turbocharging @ 40k miles?

I was wondering if some of the more knowledgeable techs knew if I should be concerned with turbocharging my S2K that has 38k miles but will have 40k+ when I am ready. Should I do a compression test? Any opinions are greately appreciated. Oh, I will be running 6psi normally and 8psi occationally. -Anthony

I don't have any FI experience, but I would expect your engine to be in great shape if it has been maintained and treated well. At least you know it is completely broken in!

Before you turbocharge make sure you go to driving school. I have seen you behind the wheel.

The reason why you haven't seen my car in four months is because your slow ass is not turbocharged and I am too fast for your regular human eyes. Let's get together soon, give me a call.
