I agree; it would help eliminate a lot of tiresome repetition.

So after reading the thread on Y turbo instead of SC, and so im now thinkin it may be better overall for my aplication for a turbo. So do i now need to drop my compression ratio down? Or can i run alittle boost with the same compression? and would it hurt to build the kit myself besides the turbo?

Run a search. You'll find plenty of information, particularly in this forum, that will answer your questions. But in my opinion, the need to lower your compression ratio depends on your current ratio and the amount of boost you want to run. If you know what you're doing, build a kit yourself to save money. Otherwise, buy something that's preassembled to be safe.

I agree this would be good as a sticky. I'll talk about this with the forum mods supervising this section about it.
