Poll: Most miles on a 87-88 T2?

Hey guys, I just got another 87 T2 with 139k, although it needs a Turbo, the engine appears to be in good shape. I am wondering who has the most miles on a non-rebuilt Turbo II? Thanks!

i do want a full T04 but i can't drop $1500-$2000 on it. i just want 13's and the hybrid can more than get me there. might even be able to get 12's at high boost

No doubt since you have a motor that isn't full of carbon anymore

Felix's car is like a cockroach that will NOT die! By all means, the engine should be dead, but it will not pop!

I bought my 10AE from the original owner (knew NOTHING about Rotaries) and it had 139k miles before he lost a rear Apex... and I think it was cause of fugged up secondary injecors (my best guess, he had ALL reciepts for everything else including less than 3k oil changes, new CAT, and alot of other things) the guy spent $1000's on mechanics & parts but when I had the injectors blue printed & rebuilt when i got it ... they claimed they were over 15% clogged. they gave me a spec sheet with before & after reuslts.
