just looking from some opinion's on what pistons i should poss run in my turbo build.
i have being looking at poss running a set up kinda like this;
rb26dett pistons
rb26dett rods
rb30e crank etc
and havnt quite got as far as the oil pump side yet.
the reason of using the 26dett rods is because i will poss need to lower compression so have thought i could poss do that with the shorter rods and pistons (if they are shorter cos i dono)
is it poss to use this set up with a "normal" head gasket and have the compression lowered and be all good to boost up?

why not just buy vl turbo pistons and use all the standard gear?that will lower the compression
