    send scoff a pm, i think he's changed so may have his old set spare? maybe not what your after ratio wise, but worth an ask.
    i've been looking for rods for a while, they dont come up often.
    if it is just to lower the comp ratio i have a de-compression plate, and a head with relocated tensioner, think its for 7.5:1. may be cheaper than pistions since the std's good for over 300bhp

    Or you could run a low boost kit around 7psi on a standard compression engine



    pulsar or 200sx t28, clio mk1 16v turbo downpipe (wozzer used this on his fitted fine), ebay special turbo manifold, 225 meganne injectors and spark plugs, turbointercooler not sure if you had fmic on yours if not ebay special, then ecu either standalone or mapped std ecu
