Default procharged car with high miles??

so im getting the bright idea of buying a car pretty soon and i found EXACTLY what i was looking for with an awesome bouns a p1sc kit but other than that and some tuned length shitlp heads and a borla catback the car is baisicly stock which is a problem i think only cause the car has 120,000miles on it

im not going to beat around the bush i know NOTHING about boosted cars other than i wanted to go that route with my old ss but well the bottle was much cheaper

so what i am trying to figure out is what i need to look for in the car...i can tell you it has the basic twin intercooled p1sc kit with with "two fuel pumps" and was tuned at thunder i honestly want to buy this car but the only thing throwing me off is well **** lets be honest thats a whole lotta miles but its a damn decent deal on the car so lemme know what you guys think should i really worry about it??.....

btw going to check the car out sat with cash so try to talk me out of it


/end drunken stupid question

I wouldn't let the miles scare you away, check out my '99 Z28 above. Bob

Whats the worst that can happen? You end up blowing the engine and have to go forged and up the boost? Sounds like a win-win situation
