Yes, prolly a good idea, 8.1-8.2 is the optimal pre-turbo compression for the
audis.... Your low end should be very good and yet still retain the hi-end
power.... I WOULD NOT go ANY higher than 8.2, BTDT on a Dodge 2.2turbo, you
detonate all over the place on anything less than racing fuel.....
Filling the cylinders just takes a larger fan, that's an easy one..... And
the best prollum to have....
However, I might suggest putting the 2 grand into the head first, chances are
that your performance for the bux will be much higher than with the stroker
kit.... I would leave that extra cc's for last.....
