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.....
