there are two new products, if anyone doing turbo would like to have.
At www.kspec.com they have a 3mm head gasket that will lower the compression ratio to 8.5:1 without changing the pistons for $299 and the 290cc fuel injectors for $189 set of 4 .

Question: which one first for my application...gasket or both? I think ill get both i already have the safc2 and a dsm turbo set-up with front mount intercooler on the beta2 .....If I get both kspec products I should be safe to raise the boost , ANY THOUGHTS?

Gasket might work short term, but the burn characteristics are shot to hell. Also you can develop a hot spot with the gasket that will result in detonation. I know there are people running the head gasket solution, but if you know alot about FI, you know that it is really a band-aid solution to lowering compression. I had a set of ROSS racing pistons custom made with forged aluminum for under 700 bucks with pins. That is the way to go. Although you dont need forged unless you plan to go over 300 whp. Which it doesnt look like you are with that size injectors.
