Kyle's offering is low-compression (~9.5:1) on the basis it will be boosted ... is not for NA.

You could try hi-comp pistons from JWT but you would need to run "good" fuel all the time as it will be 12:1 (OEM is 11:1). I am talking about 100-octane (RON) as a bare minimum - not sure what this is in US terms as you guys use MON numbers for your fuel. You will also need a solid tune

I am thinking your budget is about 50% of what you actually will end up spending ...
