You can safely make about 225whp on the engine, the lower compression will make it a bit easier to tune but you're not going to like it driving around. All in all you're still limited to how much you can make by the rods.

What trim T3T4? What AR? And most importantly, what are you using for engine management.

Did you turbo it already??? I'm confused.

You won't like driving it around because it's going to be an absolute dog without compression.

A boost gauge tells you how much boost you're running, it will not allow you to adjust boost. Is the turbo internally or externally wastegated?
