    Remo might have gotten a larger gasket to lower it, but MB says its somewhere near 10.4-1.

    8.8-1 is the Compression ration for the Kompressor models, so, I'm guessing you will use a Komp. gasket.

    I dont think MB uses gaskets to lower compression?!?,you will most likely find a difference in rod,piston,maybe crank...

    Correct! my N/A C230 came stock at 10.4:1


    ... this is my mistake, and now I know where I got 8.8:1 from, the C230K.

    I will see if theres differnt part numbers for pistons, rods, and gasket. if its just the gasket (hope its that simple) then ill swap it. if its rods, ill see how much that will cost me, if its pistons ... then heck Id rather get some forged ones because I know stock pistons are'nt cheaper. if its easier to just find a used long block then so be it.

    i guess the material of the gasket is between the N/A and kompressor, i'm not 100% sure whether the koompressor one is a MLS or not.
    Remo, if you have any idea please keep us update so i can order a new kompressor gasket for my engine as well

    you dont need to lower the compression, just lower the boost level you are going to run remo and youl end up with the same result, unless you are meaning you are going to get a stronger head gasget also when you lower the compression.
    with that compression u should still be able to run maby 6-8psi comfortably with the right computer and tune, and still make reasonable power (maby 250hp)

    that is unless of course you choose to go the full internals route.
    which you have to basically go stand alone ecu = lotsa coin $$$$ ching ching ching

    were did this come from?
    but yea depending on the engine 250hp is easily obtainable from only 6psi, it all depends on engine compression and tuning

    Having a lower ratio is better for boosting
