Mileage records I've seen:

My old '87 TII had 200,000+ miles on it's original engine and running strong until it developed a coolant jacket leak. So, it's failure really had nothing to do with the fact it was boosted.

More interesting, an old friend of mine had a GSL-SE with over 400,000 miles on original engine and was still going strong at the time.

180 on my first 7 and the only thing wrong with it in terms of the motor was that it would smoke a little when you first started it. Still never flooded or anything of that sort.Then I had my TII with a blown motor at 160. Really you just got to keep up with maintenance and when something seems a bit out of whack you should keep an eye on it.
