#4

why don't you **** suckers go bitch somewhere else
madmalc it is really kind of a trade-off. The higher compression your pistons are the more power you will make off boost, but the less air you can cram in. Pistons with lower compression have less power off boost, but help you cram more air into the motor.

I asked quite a sensible question, which i had hoped i would get a sensible answer! Oh how wrong could i be! Quite right, how the question was written wasn't very well worded but it was easy enough to understand.
Certainly looks welcoming to a newbie if this was the 1st post they read.

To be totaly honest money isn't the issue here more the fact of what is good and well recomended

madmalc- most here don't build setups to run 25 PSI, so real world info is tough to come by. Around 9:1 comp is usually what most run for big boost/big power turbo setups. Personally, I would recommend 8.5:1 or so unless you plan on swapping in a huge set of cams where you'll need the extra comp to get your effective compression ratio back up. hustler on the forum recently had very good results running 8.5:1 compression with a similarly sized turbo. Do a search for threads started by him and you'll find plenty of info on his setup and dyno graphs.

FWIW; I just bought these: BELFAB RACING PRODUCTS
And I think another forum member did too. I bought mine with 9.0:1 compression. They have other options.
