i boosted mine at 110k. I ran it to 160k before I rebuilt the turbo and forged the engine. I kept boost at 8psi and didn't go too crazy. I put new dual valve springs in at 80k for cam spring maintenance.

LS motors hold up pretty good with high mileage. As long as the motor still feels strong and you get a good tune on it you don't have to much to worry about. We've boosted many cars over here with 100+k on the odometer.
