Question: Why you chose 9:1 pistons?
Is this considered low or high for the K series?
Gonna boost?
Ok, questions...

He's definitely boosting.
The lower the
static compression, the more boost you can run.

First I am trying to make the engine "Bullet Proof"
Next I will decide on the Turbo and what will be use of the car (e.g. daily driven, track only, combination or solodex) but only as a front wheel drive.
Then I will choose the car to install it in.
Then a tuner (any trusted suggestions)

Very impressive list of parts for that build ... your bottom end looks nicely sorted ... darton sleeves very impressive dont get much better than that ... i was wondering since power engines is made in the head esp. for forced induction is what you were doing in regards to porting, cams, intake manifold and throttle body.
