Sounds like you already know the answer....

Running 5psi?
I wouldn't turbocharge a stock bored block, but that's me.

I know that is low HP, but like you said it is a stock block, and I don't want to push it too far.......So is 9:1 the ideal compression ratio for turbo??

I left the question mark out. that should have been a question and not a statement.

no, the weakpoint of the b16 is the ringlands, they'll go before the rest of your bottom end gives out. With pistons and rods you should be fine for most reasonable goals. With only a 220 whp goal, you don't really need...anything if you want a bit more leeway you can lower the compression with a headgasket.

Care to elaborate on what you mean by "have a problem" with the sleeves?
