without some *serious* modifications. Timing retard and CH3COOH injection are helpers, not basic design elements for high boost pressure engines. Engine strengthening (pistons, rods, bottom end crank and bearings) are needed if you are going for that level of boost consistently. I think you expect boost pressure power gains to be similar regardless of engine or manufacturer, i.e. 12 PSI on a Bimmer 335i at 10.2 compression vs. 12 PSI on a stock Z32TT engine @ 8.5:1 compression. As per Ash's post above, it isn' that simple.
High compression TT's exist, they don't 'blow up' unless poorly designed or abused. Member ConverTT is running a boosted NA 'vert successfully for over a year now, others have too. Ask him what he thinks of the low-end torque and high-end power. Custom tuning is the key here, having personally witnessed his dyno tuning/dialing in procedure, it can be done, just not cheaply or with 'slapping on parts' to gain more power. In conclusion, you don't need to 'boost high' on a high compression engine to have power, but if you want more power, you have to reduce either compression or boost to favour the other. Regards,
