do NOT go crazy with compression keep it around 8-8.5:1 or you will be punching holes in pistons. use a forged piston and look for one with a thick dome and top ring land to help disipate heat and prevent detonation. remove all sharp edges that could heat up and cause detonation and get good valves. you may want to look into a set of aftermarket rods too.
got to the search engine and type in 'turbo' - we've had several people go that rout on here and have some good info on DO's and DON'TsQuote:
