sim1987 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 hi all i have been thinking about skiming the head and block on my n/a it is going in to one of my dads friends garages to have a head gasket done and he suggested this as well at no extra cost, i was wondering as with a turbo you use a thicker head gasket to enable you to run more boost by lowering the compression ratio would skiming an n/a have any effect on performance as i would be raising the compression ratio. any feedback apreciated thanks.
