Then a 9.5.1 should work well for you!

 

vega is a very good tuner! But when you get done tuning it with him bring it buy, bet i can get 10whp plus on his tune! And wont be to much! THANKS, CARTER

 

im runnin 9.8:1 on 18lbs

 

+1.

I laugh when I watch people do builds and go lower than 9.5:1 to be able to"run more boost".

 

lol yeah im not the most knowalageabl about the 4 cylinder builds sleving and all this is a mystery to me, lol but im learning as i go and every ones tells ya some thign diffrenent so i gotta see what happnes, you know throw it at the wall and see what sticks

 

Call JE, arrange to send those pistons back and get the right ones.

If you plan on sleeving it still, do it. Sleeve it and run 9.5:1~ comp. ratio.
9.5 is NOT to high, John Vega will know what to do with it.

Boost loves compression. Your buddy is completely wrong with the 8.8:1 compression ratio comment. Yes, your cylinder pressures will be higher with a greater CR and more boost, but you are/were planning on running a fully built bottom end, it won't be a problem.

You will hate having a 8:1 CR, spooling the turbo will take forever and you will have very low 'off-boost' power.

 

cool, thanks man im guna get on the phone with je on monday. aprecate your advice.

 

Good luck, keep us updated.
