oh, dont let the 8.5:1 compression fool you. that dosnt mean you can run high amount of boost safely, the stock rods will not support that kinda of pressure, expecialy on a enigne designed to make under 130hp. if i were to build a turbo motor out of my h22 i would probobly stick with 10:1 or MAYBE go to like 9.5 or 9.7:1 compression with the crower billet rods, and fordged turbo pistons. keep the high comporession to help with low end and spool the turbo fast, then not run as high of boost but still make the same power as if i went with 8.5:1 or 8.0:1 i know someone who had a 8.0:1 compression h22, he could run 22psi safly but he said street driving sucked horribly and that if his turbo ever failed or he had to uninstall it, he couldnt use the stock motor.
