    he is trying to keep between 250-300whp. there is absolutely no reason to put lower compression pistons in. in fact i would probably raise it a little if it was an ls. the bottom end of a low compression (<9:1) motor sucks. and for daily driving, you really need to have some sort of low end power. if he wants 25-300whp, then higher compression and lower boost is a better alternative. and i really dont care what other people have done; those links dont mean anything to me. and factory turbo cars come with lower compression because they are meant to run on the factory maps and not be retuned at all. you can take a gst eclipse from colorado to florida and it will still run fine. if you tune a car in florida at sea level and go to colorado, your tune will be off. get what im saying? compression below 9:1 is never needed. people go below, but its not necessary. you should read this thread. http://www.team-integra.net/forum/di...2&TopicID=9762

    if you want more details on my setup, pm me.
