With tuning, anything is possible.

also depends on what size turbo you want to run, what are your goals?

thats a bit high compression with the type r pistons

i want to make around 270-300 to the wheels.

I did 100 shot on a setup VERY similar to that. Made 250whp. Didnt have a prob till I ran it lean one night and burned a piston. Other than that it ran awesome.

The opinion has been stated a million times before. With a stock bottom end. U really shouldnt go over bout 300whp. It doenst matter the setup. T1 boosted a 11:1 s2000 and made crazy HP with it. How is that different from your setup?

With the right fuel, you can boost any compression. You will have to have slightly lower-than-average goals, but it is definitely possible. If you still want around 300whp (usual stock block goal), you may have to run a slightly larger turbo than most people in order to keep the intake temps down, but if you do a little research and find a turbo that will be efficient at your power goals, you shouldn't have any problems building a great setup

This is bench racing dude.

OP has almost 500 posts. Come on now.
Read the rules..

how is it bench racing??

IDK if it's bench racing, but it is definitely excessive speculation.

Asking if it is safe to boost is legit and asking about a reasonable power goal sounds legit. I could see how you would think it is against the rules, but in the words of good ol' Mills Lane "I'll allow it"

what kit did you get?

Schister66

I hope you didnt make a hasty decision and get ripped off on some junk setup. What "kit" did you buy? Also, do you know this tuner is worthwhile??
