> [@NA-KING](#): > > Whatever bro, think what you want I don’t really care. I thought I answered your question already. Maybe you didn’t read it, that’s ok I’ll re-verse it for ya. Low compression = more boost buddy. I appreciate any help you give me, I just don’t appreciate the attitude that’s all. more boost doesnt always equate to more power, or a broader (is that a word?) power band. a prime example would be the sky redline with its compression being down in the low 9’s. as for the attitude. it makes no difference if i know you or not. the posts with my opinions are fact and experience backed, and yours are not. this car is a production car with compression that is too low for the low (in relative terms) boost pressure i am sure it will be running. ILCisDEAD, my saab can run 87 all day long. a knock sensor pulling boost and timing, thats not rocket surgery. it makes me sad that GM appears to have done a better job with their turbo engine than Honda did. oh wells --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/good-read-acura-k23a1-turbo/16476)._
