would probably be okay if run at a very low boost, but to get the most from it the c/r needs to be lowered yes.

stacked/thick headgaskets are the usual way, cheap and effective but certainly not bullet proof.. custom pistons, or audi RS2 pistons (they come up on ebay occasionally) would be the better option :cool:

turbos technics didnt change the pistons, you can run standard engines up to about 10psi safely, my mate ran his 8v at 16psi.
