hello i have had an 04 ep3 with a k24a1 swap for a while and now i FINALLY have the money to turbo it. i was kinda wanting to do 10:1 comp pistons and turbotuff i-beam rods. i know most people use 9:1 comp for boost but i am thinkin if i run 10:1 or 10.5:1 comp pistons i can get really good response need lower boost to acheive my goal(400ish with gt3076r) i just havent seen anyone run higher comp pistons on their turbo k24's i know people are making 400hp= on higher comp k20's so i assume the k24 esp with these rods should have no prob but what do you think? do you tihnk i should just go 9:1 or do you think 10:1+ will be better cause i am looking for the best response.
other parts to this build i already have are 70mm throttle body port matched intake manifold 3'' exhaust and obv kproo
