Not yet, I'm thinking of tuning the turbo for 6psi and running a 2mm thick head gasket to bring the Compression Ratio to 8.7, or 1.6mm for 9 even.

I'm going to run NA for a few months to make sure the motor dosent blow up on me. It feels strong so far, but you never be too careful.

Since the swap is done I can just get a SilverTop long block for around $300 if I blow this one. A swap of that nature I can get done in 1 day or ½ day with air tools.

The mechanics and plumbing are super easy for me, its the electronics that I worry about. I'm wondering if running a BT ECU with some sort of piggy back system would help me or could the MAPs on the BT be adjusted, OR since its such low PSI, would the BT ecu be able to compensate.

Donno!
