Default Stock Compression and STS???

Is it possible to run an STS kit on my car with the stock compression?? Also if my cam is on a 112 can I run the turbo on that cam (232/238 595/605 112) and mti stage 2E head not milled (stock compression). I know I will need a fuel pump and injectors is there anything else I am missing?? Im getting a 12 bolt with new gears when the 10 bolt takes a crap. Also I plan on forging the bottom end and getting a new tranny later on. ANY help would be apperciated thank you, Chase

If you search here, you'll find lots of people running STS kits on bone stock motors. This would lead me to believe that an STS kit will run fine with proper tuning on a stock CR motor. That search feature really is hard to use though.......

Keep the boost low and you'll be fine. Run over 5 psi and it's a VERY good idea to get the FMIC from TRT Turbo's or at least a meth injection kit.

A couple of searches should get you some more info/firsthand accounts.

Im also planning on Buying the Sts kit and from what I have gathered in information and trial and error is that It is safe to run 4 psi all day long. After that it is highly recomended that you upgrade your fuel system and work on your engine. I came from the turbo' world and miss it very much.

You will not be happy with 4psi...

Just get the fuel upgrades, tune, and run 7 psi all day long.
