I've seen many 2.2 turbos with high miles on them and no problems.
My parents at one time had a K Car with the 2.2L. Let me just say that turning on the A/C would render the car more gutless ( if that was possible ) to the point of being dangerous if you were trying to pass anything faster than a 10 speed bike on the highway.
( that was a long sentence.....)
