Nothing wrong with higher compression turbo set-up if tuned correctly! Hence the word TUNED! the higher static compression will not only allow the car to launch harder it will spool the turbo faster, therefor allowing larger A/R housing for more CFM. but again may require higher octane fuel ( higher octane fuel burns at a slower rate). Also ignition timing may need to be re configured, I don't like the BTM's but a Greddy Emanage or perhaps an Apexi ITC may be cheaper rout than stand-alone. Lower static compression allows for more boost but robs HP and Torque from the engine. MSD BTM also robs HP. It's funny how many misconceptions are believed to be required components for a turbo engine. And I'm also not a fan of the one piece metal head gaskets that are unreliable. Cometic by far is the best headgasket on the market, it's layered and comes in various thicknesses, and all Honda applications. I use them exclusively, unless you go the rout for a race car than I recommend O-ring block w/ reciever in head and Copper gasket. a concideration should also be taken for an ignition upgrade , the MSD 6a w/ a Blaster or HPV coil work wonders on a boosted car.
