Here comes a dozen posts to go with the lowest one (8.8:1) if you're going turbo. To go 10.5:1 and then turbo will take a lot of tuning to keep in check. It's not impossible, but certainly not very popular if you like to drive on pump gas and go to work everyday in your car.

I agree with above^^^^ completely.

If you really aren't sure, just take a look at what ALL of the other rebuilt turbo people are running. 97% have the 8.8:1 CR.

The turbo 8.8 compression pistons are the safest way to go. The bottom end kit is good to a total of 500hp. WE also now offer the upgraded rods (better bolts) that is good to 800 hp if you wish to go that route.
