Turbo upgrade - "Budget" no longer applicable

Buy a new cam chain when you start your build.

putting a turbo on a rocket DIY and mentioning a budget... LOL
is this going to be some janky ebay turbo and some crazy stuff?

I will never use the words "turbo" "rocket" and "budget" in the same sentence again. Nope

New camchain fitted. And just spent a fortune on low comp pistons and all parts needed to do a proper piston change job.
I'm starting to realise what beast I have woken.

What compression ratio did you go with? I thought the stock compression ratio was around 8.7 to 1. That wasn't low enough?

Yes, good point. I'm buying TTS well proven proprietary design forged pistons used in their stage 3 supercharger kit.s Made by JE Pistons and "way lower" than their off the shelf 10.1 to 1

The stock pistons are indeed low comp but unfortunately not forged.

So what CR are your new pistons?
I'm running custom Carillo ones around 8.2 iirc and have another set lower around 8.0

I have been dodging that question because I actually don't know. All I know is that they are made to order for TTS by JEP, are forged and low comp for F/A (also confirmed by a JEP rep I talked with, which recommended the TTS route in the first place )
But actual CR? Seems to be proprietary info
