    I've never tuned a honda before. But I have owned several turbo vehicles. The one thing I can tell you, is that raising compression before you boost your car is a step in the wrong direction. The higher your compression is, the less boost you can run on your car, and the more likely you'll pop an engine. Instead of spending money on head work, buy a set of lower compression pistons and some forged rods. That way, when you do slap your turbo on, you can run mad boost, make a **** load of power, and not worry about blowing your baby up. The more money you spend on random crap, the longer it will take you to finish your build.

    AMEN to that one, it seems like thats all i've been doing lately....

    REPS!

    EDIT: so basically, what you are saying is, get more block/bottom end work done, rather than headwork.
