i contacted sbd about a turbo conversion and they gave me some guys number not related to courtnay sport thank god but ive heard about companys using 3 head gaskets to lower compression but i was wondering if it was possible to have the pistons machied to lower compression ie like cosworths do i read on sbd website that they do head gaskets to custom thickness's how thick would i have to go to run 15/18 psi and would it be reliable if i sorted out the compression.
i would ring the bloke but i dont want to pester the bloke bearing in mind its noting getting done till round xmas.
any useful help much appreciated.

what about if 15 psi was the upper limit and as i say the compression was sorted and its not as if the engine internals are going to be stock items when it gets done just i dont wanna spend how ever many thousands it is and just run 6/9 psi and just see 50bhp gain. ?????

ha ha ha ha. my pants are now wet. there is more to turbo charging than just lowering compression.
got to think of oil and water feeds to turbo, can your engine take the heat, will the radiator cope, sump capacity, injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure, valve springs, ECU, under bonnet temps, room for intercooler

That is what there there for. If you ring a company up and there not helpfull then you need to ask if there really the sort of company you want mutliating your engine. If there not gonna help you unless ur engine is in there garage what they going to be like once they've done the work and you have a problem?
Also remember 9/10 they will know the score so will be able to answer all your questions.
