Why would starting to boost an engine at 86k mileage make a difference than an engine that is already boosted from the factory running for high miles? Should someone pull their turbo from their BMW after 86k miles because the motor can't handle boost anymore? Would a person be silly if they avoided power mods on a BMW after 86k miles like a downpipe or tune? Where are the threads asking if their 86 has too many miles for headers and E85? I haven't seen any, but people ask about adding FI often. For a mild build on a street car, for instance, there should be little difference in longevity.
