Hi all I've don't the head gasket on my Vl turbo sadly its not factory turbo engine.. Like the plates state I came across decompression plate as I was pulling it down how do I go to bypass this.. I've been quoted $12680 at csv Australia for a buit engine that will sit me at 550 rwkw on e85. I'm not looking to spend that kind of $ how would I go pissing of that Decomression plate

Get rid of the decompression plate, buy a proper piston and rod combo that'll work with your current work and give you the comp ratio you are after.
If you can assemble a motor yourself, a rebuild with fresh pistons, rods, rings and bearings won't cost too much, the only thing you'll have to let a 3rd party do, is the machine work.
