How many Miles is too many when going FI (procharger)

I want to get a procharger kit and run it at minimal boost (6psi) just for some added fun but I am worried my car has too many miles on it to handle any boost.

I have 146kms right now which is like 85,000 miles? Would I be safe to bolt up the procharger without touching anything except the spark plugs?

The car runs great now and hasn't had a single problem.

What does everyone think?

I would say as long as you don't jump on it every time you hit the pedal and drive it decent and not beat on it ALL the time, you should be fine, but you are getting up there for FI. Most folks would say to rebuild first.

What makes it such a pain?

How could I drive a 400hp car without getting on it every chance I could?? haha
