i know performance parts for ST are limited...(unless im wrong then please let me know). what would be a better deal...building my st engine internally and dropping a custom turbo kit...or doing an engine swap? i know the 3sgte or a gt4 is alot of money and work...would it be advisble to swap a gt engine and drop a turbo kit already made for the gt...or should i just go for the swap? thankx

didnt edo end up with high compression ? like 11:1 or something after his build

Im not sure but isnt high compression bad for a turbo set-up???

also cant you lower compression by getting a bigger head gasket?
