hi, i havent been on here for a while so i hi again :)

I am currently in the planning stages for the build of my turbo engine am looking to go for a +60 overbore (1330) and using a t2 or similar turbocharger. Like i said i am currently in the planning stages as i am still trying to learn as much as i possably can before i attempt the build.

so i ask what pistons would you guys recommend. i am aiming for a compression ratio of 8:1 i would like to run a boost of around 10 psi. i also plan to use megajolt in stead of my dizzy. like i said i am still trying to learn more about turbocharging an engine so please go easy :)

no need to go as low as 8:1 for 10psi dude....8.5-9:1 will be fine with an intercooler and megajolt.

as for pistons a lot of people recommend the minispares mega pistons, not sur eif they do em in +60 though.
