I've got a 03 svt zx5 with 248k. Compresion is to spec and it does not smoke. I was thinking about adding a turbo.
Should i turbo as is and wait untill i have motor problems or should i pull it and rebuild.
Who makes a good kit? I only want to make around 220-250 hp to the ground.

I would personally not feel comfortable installing a turbo on an engine with that many miles if it hadn't been rebuilt. Seems like it's just a ticking time bomb.

I have a very nice SVT Turbo kit and I can do your tuning remotely

My I would put the turbo kit on and start with low boost and have fun , I would but a good rebuildable core and slowly start building it as you can , boost is addictive and byt the time you get the engine ready you will be wanting more boost then the 280HP you have at the wheels
