I've been browsing a bit, but havent been able to find the real answer Im looking for....
what is everyones thoughts about modding a high mileage c32?
say your car has 100k or 120k, do you guys think it is safe to go all out and run a 185mm pulley if you take all the proper precausions with the larger HE and IC pump and intake with a tune?
more boost= more strain on the engine, so will it still be as reliable and last?
Obviously it is probably better to do this to a car with low mileage, but what are your thoughts?

My power steering pump went out a few months after installing the 185MM. C32 had 90k miles on it. I think engine internals should be fine higher mileage, but coolant pump, steering pump, alternator, etc, might fail quicker with the 185MM...
