MitsuStyle - View Single Post - to raise compression or not to raise compression?

**JET** · 02-02-2009

One thing to think about, with high compression via static compression it does not get cooled. If you add "compression" via boost, then you run it through the IC and it gets cooled down. So lower compression has more potential for power and be safer on the engine, but the higher compression will have better low end and spool the turbo a little faster.
