Can't u get the pistons from an American company & have them air-shipped?
As for the C/R, I'm a fan of low compression pistons, that way if there is a problem tuning and you run a little lean, there's not gonna be any damaging detonation... Then if you want more power just crank up the boost... Yes, the lag will be worse, but it's a trade-off between safety and turbo lag, choose your side... IMO 9.8:1 is a little high... I would go with 9.0:1, but that's just me...
Right in the case ill give 9:0:1 some thought, im running a stock fuel pump and only 440cc injectors atm so thats why i dont wana go to low comp and too high boost pressure. Whats the maximum u'd suggest with that fuoel pump and injector set-up?
I can get stuff air shipped from the US, but it takes so long at customs etc and i really need the car back on the road asap as im working all xmas and work quite far from home.
