you're going to want to get lower compression pistons if you really want to push more than 10 psi...

also sleeves are going to hurt your cooling abilities... that space around the cylinders is for high flow cooling... get cylinder studs installed at your local machine shop...

basically your block is tapped in a few prime locations and studs are threaded into the holes to support the cylinder walls... the studs are made of the same material as your block so they expand and contract the same... then the outside of the block is either tig welded or sealed with epoxy and sealant... this strengthens your cylinders for boost while maintaining a cool block...

this is the setup that race car drivers use...
9.0.1 seems to be the popular compression for most turbo apps
people are running 12 psi with higher comp so lowering the compression would only allow you to boost more with lower risk of blowin the damn thing
