i think you should LOWER your compression for a turbo your car is goin KABOOM. i duno, but i heard its okay to run 6-8 psi for stock compression.

well it depends on how high the compression is...10 is a lot for a b18c5 i know that. go ask the guys in the forced induction forum, they'll tell you all you'll need to know

If I were you, get some 9:1 Compression pistons... I mean I figure you are going with Turbo to boost high and get some good 1/4 mile times, so lower compression and boost that bitch!

Just like everyone else said, you'll have to lower the compression to run more boost.

if you have to ask a bunch of strangers...maybe you shouldn't do it. Wait until you have some first-hand experience...this is why I never got cams or NOS or anything - didn't know enough to do it myself.

I still don't understand why people feel they need to NOS or FI an R.

I say, "don't do it" but, to each his own.

Oh well, good luck anyway...

you can boost high compression as long as it is tuned very well. You must have some sort of ecu that will read boost. High compression is boost friendly with a turbo cause it will help your turbo spool faster. High compression is just much harder to tune with boost than lower compression.
good luck.
