November 19, 200519 yr isn't 9.1 kinda high if you're planning on running 20psi? back in my day you wanted a low compression and tons of boost, t3/t4 hybrid and 8.5:1 20psi was a perfect daily
November 19, 200519 yr Author Forged rods and good pistons.... 20 psi on 9.2:1 has been done many a time, all about fuel and having good internals.
November 19, 200519 yr Hmm, get a VW bug then.6:1:1 or something like thatIf you want, I have a 1600dual port sitting in my garage. I was going to sell it, but if someone here wants it? Used to be in my '59 beetle--Cal'd out. Have the rims and tires from the car too. 15"x8 with 135.76.15 and 165.75.15--crazy to see a 75 series tire be "low profile"That is my other winter project, to unload all of the other winter projects I never finished and simplify my life.

Lower the compression and the turbo does more work with less effort, plus i mean if a higher compression matters that much to you its just a few psi to make it up if you have a good turbo.
December 1, 200519 yr My winter project?Ummm...completing the integrated 2A3 single-ended triode saga at this point...get the van prepped for the spring MECA shows.
December 1, 200519 yr I've got two nice orders to place tomorrow. One at SLP, and one at Jegs.Should keep me busy for a while.
