My brain hurts O.o


But seriously, to calculate your compression ratio we would actually have to know about your engine. Is it currently stock? Are you going to run stock heads with your turbo or aftermarket?

There are plenty of CR calculators online as well.

You need to provide more info for anyone to help figure out your compression ratio. Here is a link to an online calculator where you can see what information is required and see for yourself what you need to get it where you want it.
