Most 930 engines don't or didn't last anywhere near 100K miles, that is more typical of a 911 engines life. Several reasons such as lack of maintenance, bad treatment, adding larger boost springs (with no other changes), and poor fuel curve. If you take care of the engine and add an intercooler to offset the added 0.2bar boost it will do OK. Change out the exhaust to fee flowing, tune the fuel curve and there is no reason why the engine shouldn't last 100K.
