Default Couple things before Turbo. . . . ?

I have a few questions about a couple things before I put the Turbo on. . .

First, I want to run better valve springs and retainers. . . . whitch one do you all recommend?

Second, what pistons for 9.3:1c/r? In a B18C. . . . .


Thanks in advance,
Jeramy

We usually use Crower, Ferrea, or Web Cam valetrain products in our buildups. They are "tried and true."

As fr a 9.3:1 compression ratio, good luck. You're going to have to probably used forged aftermarket pistons rated around 9.0:1 and play with your combustion chamber volume (i.e. by milling the head or using a different thickness head gasket) in order to achieve a perfect 9.3:1 CR. By the way, why 9.3:1?

using the Endyn pistons in a B18C nets 9.3:1. . . . . how much for the Web valvetrain?

just a suggestion
if your gonna replace the pistons
might as well do rods too.
then you can run even more boost
**** while were at it. get the block sleeved OR a blockguard welded in.

the roller coaster of debt begins.

I already have GE sleeved block and Eagle rods, I just don't know what pistons and valvetrain parts to run?
