How many miles on your TII? Stock/Mods
I am trying to get an Idea, the life expectancy of the tII. Mine has 112,000 miles on it and I ran into a bit of a dilemma. I ran into some stuff really cheap, Microtech, BOV, Boostcontroler, and a few other things. I’ve already have intake and a down pipe. So my question is how long will my motor last will all these mods, being the age it is. Keep in mind that the first 70,000 miles it was a midlife crisis car. So it was babied. Thanks

Your motor is like the 80 year old guy that suddenly decides to run a marathon.
A compression test will tell you how much life it has before a rebuild is needed.
If you want to boost more, start with a fuel pump rewire and upgrade the pump.

My motor went at 138K, still ran good, but lost a part of the water jacket in the front iron housing during an overheating event and started sucking coolant... would have last a lot longer if I would have noted the rats nest between the radiator and the A/C heat exhanger..

Seems liek oil is blowing all over the hood and alternator from the water pump shaft but i don't think that's possible. Oh well. =\
