Turbo Q's Options

[d3monc3lica]

Ok so I'm buying a basic turbo setup from another person on here and I was wondering, due to the fact that with this purchase im only recieving a Turbo with internal wastegate, Manifold, MAP box, oil lines, FMU, BOV, and downpipe I know that I can't just bolt this thing on and get it to work (Note, there is not intercooler but does come with piping to the intake manifold), my plans as of now are to:
Buy a SAFC, OBX Fuel Rail, Venom Injectors and possibly fuel-pump.
Now because the 6gc has a higher compression pistions and I know its bad to run boost on high compression, shoild i 100% swap the pistons out with lower compression ones or is there a way to run LOW boost with all the fuel management there. I plan on buying the intercooler and turbo timer and boost controller too but after the fuel management, but i need input, this is my first boosted car and no i dont mean stolen lol. Thanks

well, I dont know much about the st motor but I would say you seem to have a good grasp at your your gana do. depending on how much boost you wana run the stock internals should do just fine (for low boost like 5-8 psi) I would not push it much more. (that would probibly give you like 160-170hp I think) If your upgrading your injectors (almost needed for the turbo) and fuel rail etc your probibly much better off doing the piston swap because you'll get more out for the other things and you can push it more.
