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

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
