I could easily be wrong, but I remember that people usually talked about going to a LOWER compression when building for turbo setups, but I honestly couldn't tell you why as I never cared to look into it. I'm guessing that's what BPC is doing with theirs. Hmm, maybe the N51 in stock form is actually a better platform to turbo than the N52?
The N51 actually has a different head.
