There are lots of threads with links to turboing an SL. Do a search, you'll find them here.

Its a big expensive project. Good luck.

The motor is pretty much like any other car. If it was ragged and not maintained on its going to bread down faster. Given the number of miles, I'd expect that, under normal wear, you have about ~50K before its going to need to be replaced.

Getting the timing done is never a bad thing and should be done every 60K. If it was done at 120 then you don't have to do it. If the owner can't produce documents showing that it was done, then act as though it hasn't been.
