    Goodmorning

    A few weeks into an intense tuning regime, I've raised my power to 196bhp on my 20vT and popped the gasket on a waterway last night!
    Not all bad coz I'm gonna do cambelt, valve re-grind etc...
    Can anyone tell me if it will respond positively or negatively, is it ok to raise compression little or a lot? I don't wanna go overboard as I had a nova GTE done an it twatted me shells!

    Advice or comments very welcome and appreciated

    Cheers boys

    Wouldnt have thought you should raise compression on a turbo car. lower if anything to allow for more boost.
