yea but i think im gonna do the internals and boost more. but any idead on pistons i could get or use to keep the compression low. because i know if u have highcompression and u are running on a turbo u have a greater chance of detonation than low vompression. or am i worng about this

Your stock components can handle anything you throw at it - the question is how long will they last at that level of punishment.
my stock tranny/clutch have been seeing at least 6psi for over 3 years (35k miles) and at least 7-8 psi for one year. 5-6psi won't make much of a dent in your stock parts.

yea tru, i reasearched it and my stock internals will handle the boost, but how long is the major question. but ill end up doing the internals for peice of mind. also opens the door for more power.
