Best Compression for Turbocharging a B series motor?
I have a 2000 GSR B18C Engine and was planning on dropping a turbo kit. If i want to maximize my power output and reliability, what would be the best compression to shoot for by changing the pistons for a turbo setup? Thanks for the help guys.

Most people run like 9.0.1 Compression ratio, but when I build my motor I plan on going with 9.2.1 Compression pistons! I guess it all depends on how much boost you are planning on running, and what mods you will have done? If you oly wanna run like 10psi. you could get away with like 9.5.1......It all depend on what your needs & wants are!

higher compression+turbo=less lag+lower boost+smaller tuning window
realistically any compression ratio is feasible its all about your goals
