The car has 130000 miles on it. I was thinking of putting a turbo kit on it. As long as I give the motor fuel will it last a while

If the engines is still strong and has good compression you could turbo, but if you plan on road racing then i suggest a smaller turbo for more low end power.

Learn as much as you can about turbocharging, if you have the greddy kit installed and tuned properly you should be alright. The greddy kit would be a good kit to get.
