i have alwas heard the a6 block is stronger so i'd do the mini-me and use the z6's crank and pistons to lower the comp.

Are you building the motor with aftermarket internals or stock internals? Either one will work fine since your only boosting 10 psi. I wouldn't lower the compression ratio either. Just get good fuel management and tuning.

10psi the D16Z6, the mini-me turbo is only going to last so long, unless you have something in the area of hondata or EMS..
