hello, i have a 98 ls and it has 134,000 miles on it. nothing is wrong with it, drives like a champ. I was wondering if it is too late to turbo with all the mileage on it? and if i should just do a rebuild to restore lost hp. i was lookin a few turbo kits, any cheap reliable suggestion? any of yours turbo?

Please search. Its been covered millions of times. Its never too late, as long as the motor is healthy. What you should ask is how to figure out if your motor can handle boost without any work. EBay kits are known for waste gate issues I recommend getting one from a reputable company.

With a good tune. yes. You can use the eBay kit, But i recommend replacing the waste gate and bov with a name brand one. Also the manifolds tend to crack.

Oh and "cheap" and reliable usually don't go together. Cheap, fast, reliable, pick two.
Before you go any further, Do a compression test, leakdown, full tune up. Do you know if the timing belt was replaced at 100k? if not, replace along with the water pump. while you do that you can take the head off and look at your cylinder walls and get an idea of what condition your rings are in.
