Dude, I got the same exact car as yours. Our engine can handle moderate boost. I just hope you got a 5speed. When they recommend LOW compression, they meant for insane amounts of power. They're talking large-ass turbo and high amounts of boost.

I am boosting 5psi right now. Tuned/tested/installed by yours truly. I have no intercooler unfortunately. My funds do not permit an intercooler at this time...

More information: A high compression engine and turbo is your BEST way to make power; however, going this route is unSAFE if it's not tuned correctly. Many people recommend low compression because a lower CR means less heat is generated. This creates a safety net of some sort and allows more PSI to be pushed. In summary, given equal everything else, a higher CR will always make more power than a lower CR. High CR and turbo is VERY hard to tune and people tend to blow stuff up. Sorry, that may have been more than you wanted to know.

turbo is cool ...
