wazzup guys i was wondering if anyone can give me any help on how much i can boost and at what fuel preassures here are my mods. custom turbo kit using the small 16g from RRE, I have the Vortech S-FMU, ford motor sport 30lb injectors, Weisco 8:5 forged pistons with stock rods. can anyone give me any numbers to run without using a S-AFC.weird thing is i did a compression test and all 4 cylinders they read at 150 when i was stock they read 180 in all cylinders. my mom has a stock 97 talon i did a compression test and they read 180 on all clyinders. i wonder why how come some of you guys compression stock is 220 could it be because the new mls gaskets are thicker. my car runs smooth no smoke or any blowby from the crankcase ventillation.the way i do a compression test is i dissconnect the fuel relay and use the compression tester from autozone

You have low compression pistons. That will account for some of that. For the comp test just unplug the coil pack, remove all the plugs and wires. Crank the engine until the reading stops on the gauge.

naw, u did it right, or it sounds like the other #s are right. your should be lower cuz of the 8.5 comp, we run 9.6 stock....
about the fuel, i htink corbin has a decent page about puttin together fuel systems... maybe u can use sum info off of that to help with your question...cuz i dunno squat (yet) about fuel

I get about 165 1-4 when I do compression tests. Thats what it was before I turbo'd and thats what it is after 6months of the punishment of the turbo. I run 10psi daily.
