Yes, since the possibility of detonation rises along with the compression ratio. If you think I'm an idiot, then you're wrong. Go to
www.preludepower.com and search for a post called "Raise Compression with Turbo". It's been proven. So before you run your mouth off about people not knowing what they are talking about, why you don't you get your facts straight. You're wrong, plain and simple.

I just got done building a 7000 dollar motor on my 99 sh I think I know what I'm doing. Don't believe me go to superhonda.com. Block was sleeved and built by Golden Eagle. Full stage 2 port and polish with full crower valvetrain and cams. I'm running Je 11.5 to 1 forged pistons and forged eagle rods. I'd never myself turbo a high compression motor just for the simple fact that your boost levels must remain low because of detonation. Your telling me you could easily put 25 to 30 psi of boost on that kind of compression you my friend are an idiot! Don't tell me I don't know what I'm doing. Golden Eagle warranties their blocks to 60 psi on sleeve cracking and sinking for 1 year. I'd guarantee if I put 25 psi to anything over 11 to 1 compression it's blowing up no matter what engine management you've got.
