loss in compression = loss in how much hp?
i was wondering with say a stock 170hp usdm b18c1, how much horsepower would you lose by putting in lower compression pistons (for turbo). Say bumping the compression down to 9.0 or 8.5. Any feedback would be appreciated.

You put in lower-compression pistons so you can turn up the boost and make more power sooner, right?
