Re: 420a is turbo. need help

apparently i had my wastegate hooked up wrong and was running close to 25 psi. ive spooled up around ten times, and guess what, my rings are fried. 50 pounds in two cylinders and 90-100 in the other two. car died about 150 feet after the last heavy boost. car doesn't even atempt to start now. checked the timing so i know the valves are doing there job. guess thats what i get for running a turbo on stock internals. so what i want to know is if i NEED low compression pistons or if i can get these rings-http://www.cimotorsports.net/motor-sport-products/total-seal-ring-set-eclipsetalon-420a.html i just spent alot of money on the turbo and really can't afford an eagle/je rod-piston setup. i'm hoping these rings will hold up the 5-6 psi i'll be running when my wastegate is setup right. what are your guys' suggestions?
