Agreed. And I'm saying this as my brothers Turbo'd car (10:1 CR no less) Sits not 10 feet from where I am.

I still say 12.5:1 is purrfect! >:3

A million times this. :Ban:

Here's how it's going to happen in reality:
1.) People buy the car
2.) Power Whores will fabricate turbo setups
3.) The smart ones will calculate that with 93 octane and the stock 12.5:1 static CR, they can minimize risk with 6 PSIg, or push the envelope with 9 PSIg. Of course, if the stock powertrain can't physically handle the added power, something will break. If it stays together, and the power level is acceptable, Job Well Done.
3b.) The adventurous ones will keep cranking up the boost until they find the transient fuse...which is hopefully the same as the long-duration fuse.
4.) Stronger components will go in. Perhaps at this point, lower static CR pistons, assuming the CFD was appropriately transferred from the stock pistons so to not ruin the DI fueling swirl.
5.) With stronger powertrain, boost will be cranked up until further breakage or desired power level is achieved. Job Well Done.

2. Who cares? Cobb isn't the only player. STI BRZ.."yes", then "should"? Your hopes-n-dreams don't count for reality.

3. Your opinion is noted.
