Haha nah its fine I was just tossing the idea around is all. I went and talked to a friend of mine at the local shop and he told me to step away from the car and put the turbo down.

Considering the compression it runs now putting even 5lbs of boost on it would shoot it up to over 13:1 compression which wouldn't allow it to last very long at all and pump gas would be long gone as well as tuning being a major issue.

I have decided to leave it alone.
