Have a good read in Beginners Tech and How to sections. Everything you need to know is in there. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

I'm not sure.... Turbo Phil (on The Mini Forum, he must be on here too) said he would do some work on them. What does a standard head have? Turbo heads normally 28cc right? 1293cc 86bhp @ Wheels soon to be turbo'd

If you can get 28cc's in the head, then you should have a CR of 8.6:1 with your current 6cc dish.

would 8.6:1 be ok to run around 12psi or should i change to 10cc dished pistons... i don't really want to run the risk of a meltdown. MED do some die cast 10cc pistons for £280 which isn't to bad.

If the current engine is good, it may be worth selling it and starting fresh if youre going to the effort Paul I seriously doubt it! |

I used to run mine at 9.6:1 and ran quite alot of boost. It did pink in warm weather though. On 19th Mar, 2009 Dave1293 said:

Dont know what counts as high C/R in this context but I,m running 8.8:1 and up to 16 psi - so far so good. |

Im also running 8.8:1 and it works really well for me. TBH I think its a good compromise, especially as most of my miles (and yours I guess) and road miles. Still building my clutch to take more than 10psi though! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

They are good for a daily drive if you limit the boost to stop pinking, the engines are really smooth and quite responsive (even with a T3). At the end of the day its just an N/A with a turbo bolted on the side at that CR.
