I like 9:1 for turbo. Put your own kit together

You can go with the greddy kit, or you can piece together your own kit.

Yes, I would put different pistons on to lower the compression ration to about 9:1 is good. While ur at putting pistons in, I would put some forged rods in there too.

Also, please, for the sake of your motor, get a good tune. Meaning, put a high volume fuel pump, bigger injectors, and get a good tune with a respectable tunning program (hondata, crome, turboedit, etc.)
