Low Compression turbo conversion
Rightt bringing up an old topic. Earlya this year put some piper cams on my 1.8 zetec, along with a 2.0 turbo head, runs 100% perfect but as you can see, running low compression (didnt think of that at the time).
Anyways I want to make the most out my cams and see 2 options:
1- swap the 1.8 block for a 2.0 block, skim the head and make it high compression, then go the route of throttle bodies or something.
2- make the most from the low compression and turbo it, as the way i see it besides maybe some stronger valve springs, its capiable of a turbo now.
Needs some help on this from experts unlike myself

I'm confused, what head is it? A standard 2.0 head will drop the compression very slightly on the 1.8 but not much.
Alot of people run decent power using standard pistons and ARP con rod bolts.
