Ok i have a d16a6 stock with just 11:1 JE pistons...now i want to boost it and keep the 11:1 c/r, i have about $700 for a turbo setup and have some questions. I already have a HF manifold from my old crx hf and will be using that, i would like to get either a IHI(mazda) or a t3 .42/.48, i will be running turbo edit and dsm blue tops(450cc) also a Z6 intake manifold with ls t/b, and for intercooler it will be either the jrc 6' or a 10' intercooler if i can get my friend to sell it. ill be running 2.5 mandrel bends for charge piping....now for some questions i have a chance to get a t3 .60/.63 for a good deal, do you guys think that would be a little big for my setup?? also the oil restrictor from stealthmode will i need it or is it reccomended?? will my stock fuel pump be ok?? if not its no biggie pretty sure my parts car has a walbro and last question how bad is it really to run without a BOV i heard it just takes some of the life of the turbo away.....thanks any help would be aprecciated. also i would like to run 8-10 psi on the setup and i know my tune is going to be key especially since i have a higher c/r.

i would pull those high comp pistons, try to sell them, and put in some stock ones. and use the money you made from them to buy all the ---- you are forgetting

i'd rather boost the higher c/r setup then have to go inside the motor and evrything, and i did not include the misc. things but i know all of what i need to have a complete kit to finish everything, $700 is more then enough i have a friend that owns a junyard so i can get alot of the stuff for cheap.

with 11.1:1 and 8psi, you are looking at 15:1+ while under boost
but with stock compression and 8psi you would be ~12.5:1 under boost
