With this motor im rebuilding for my n/a ive been offered a vlt bottom head for cheap as now if i bolted that on and still ran it n/a for a year or so till i get some funds because of the lower compression pistons would that reduce the max kw output till the turbo goes on like it will run sluggish or something?

You have what? A turbo bottom end, or a head? What are you bolting on to what? That makes no sense

yes it will run sluggish and have less power y dont u just keep the na in ur car for now until u get the funds to firstly install the turbo block and save for the turbo parts aswell...? or turbo the na?

buy a vl turbo much cheaper in the end and alot less f*cking around!!

....or building a hi-comp turbo motor, less boost, but much better throttle response......(in short, N/A 9.0:1 motor with a turbo!)

cheers guys yes it was a turbo bottom end with an n/a head

i wouldnt do it, stock n/a is bad enough, keep ur n/a bottom end, if ur planning a small project i guess u could turbo it with your n/a bottom end, just advance the cam to stop it from pinging, but i think its kind risky to do too much with that kinda compression

what about super charge it with the n/a bottom end and a worked head and aftermarket computer would that be able to punch out some high rwkw's
