like i said, it's my toy. The ecu i'm choosing comes with 3 map function, i'll be using them.

The idea of lower boost for normal driving appeals to me as it puts less stress on the whole engine and drivetrain, and makes for a more sensible relaxed drive. Then when i want, i can have aggresive boost building etc.

The difference is i can have it mapped to drive differently, depending on my mood. If i want half throttle to be half boost, i can, if i want half throttle to build full boost, i can.

It's just a switch away.

I've just done some workings out, if i use an 81mm piston, with a 1mm Bi-metal gasket like Ferriday's, it'll drop comp ratio to 9.2:1. Thats if the other pistons have the same deck height. I'll assume they'll be lower decked since they're from a production turbo car. So i should be ok with around 0.6mm gasket?
