You definitely can't go wrong with this turbo. I also have an HKS SSQ bov and AEM adjustable FPR for the stock fuel rail if you're interested. They are also listed in the forced induction for sale forum.
I couldn't find my dynojet run on 9.5 psi but I did find my 6 psi run on a partial tune clean up. This can give you an idea of how the turbo does. After the full tune clean up on 6 psi, it made right around 335 whp and this was on the stock CR.
Honestly these kind of questions should all start out with how much do you want to spend and what HP goals did you have in mind. There are many quality kits out there......some reasonably priced like the one I have for sale.....and some (fullrace) much more.
I would suggest keeping the car the stock compression ratio.....get a decent kit. Learn the car and have fun while saving up for a engine build. To me thicker head gaskets seem like too much work, especially with all the options we have these days.

I disagree. There are several members who made over 400whp on our dbw systems. I'm just waiting to receive my gt3076r .82 and I'll be putting everything together. I am planning on putting down 400 with 1000cc, 255 fuel pump, and flashpro along with sticking to the stock returnless system. It can be done.
