Thanks guys for the help.
No problem. If you do end up needing a rebuild, which i doubt, then plan on a good ammount of money. I think someone just said they paid 2100 for it. But as you can see its ALL labor.

i'm not completely sure about the turbo'd cars but i know the best way to get more power out of a fully N/A motor is to raise the compression... also called Stroking the motor, basically upping the number on the compression of the piston... example the 420a N/A eclipse motor has an 8.8/1 Compresion ratio... by getting the 10.5/1 pistons or 12.5/1 pistons from a company such as Howell Automotive you raise the pressure in the compression chamber = more power. a really good example is the Acura RSX. the standars RSX has a 8.5/1 compression ratio at 160hp, the RSX typeS has an 11/1 compression ratio at 220hp... that's the best example i can think of. and by the way "???" is not a topic. please post your topic under the topic title
My compression test is 215psi across the board. Then again I have 10.5:1 pistons in a 2.3 stroker. I can spool my EVOIII at 1800rpm. Makes for a fun torquey ride.

Why do you have higher comp pistons with a turbo engine?
