Should I Turbo?

[C. Ward]

Should I turbo my 1996 Lexus ES300? It has 325,000mi on it so thats why I ask. Any suggestions?

That engine has a lot of miles on it and has served you well. It has lot of miles still left on it ..... if you leave it alone. Unless you are a brute for punishment, why would you even consider putting a turbo on an engine this old? You will blow it up if you put any boost to it. You are basically asking an engine that is a senior citizen to compete in the Olympics with the 20 year olds.
