They are flat top, so compression is going to be lower than my stock roof top pistons. They might b able to further bring down my compression ratio. Maybe 8.5:1 or less.
Yaa... but not easy to bear sekali 10K+. And I like the 4G92 block. Dunno, got kam ching already... Planning to try out BR clutch or exedy. Heard BRClutch is performing quite well.
witch, items are almost complete for my first stage BOT. Just e-manage, boost meter, boost controller and installation. Planning to install in October...
How about U..? Ready to go..?

1.6 BOT project. Nice... Seems like you have read alot in the net or magazines as you are talking about compression ratio. But you need to read more or gain experience in turbocharging before you do anything. And i can guarantee you, in the end you will be spending more than transplanting GSR halfcut ...
Just ask yourself why you want to add BOT? Just for added accelaration? If yes you can go BOT. If you want to go for high horsepower, maximum horsepower, and bla bla...just dont waste your time on BOT. meaning less you spent on BOT, might as well go for transplant.
Do study more what is compression ratio and how to calculate it, rather than guessing what is compression ratio that you need. Changing GTI "flat" pistons wont do you any good for turbocharging. The engines components arent designed for turbocharging but for NA application. Running at 0.6bar, it's a matter of time when your engine give way due to the stress of the forced induction to your piston, conrod, bearing and crankshaft. And perhaps you will increase your boost as you crave for more. That is human's behaviour hehe
I had a friend that turbocharged his NA honda had the pistons flew out from the engine...:P
Good luck with your project.
