I think the downside to boosting at this high of a compression ratio is the knock sensitivity and it's requirement for more careful tuning. Obviously base maps can be acceptable and work well for a conservative tune, as that is the accepted way of doing things in most circles really. I think most people consider a custom tune on a car with a turbo kit a 'great to have', not a 'must have'. In our case it seems to be pretty much necessary for anything beyond the drive to and from the shop.

Are you from Orlando? We have several excellent shops here in town.
