Im rebuilding my motor with arias 8.8:1 pistons and eagle h-beam rods. everything else will pretty much run stock for now except beefing up the motor with arp studs and bolts. my question is this. would it be ok to run these lower comression pistons without a turbo for now? Im also putting in crower stage 2 cams. Oh and I already have 3 inch exhaust lol. I know it doesnt help yet but damn it sounds nice

Any help will be great. Thanks guys

yes you can run a turbo motor with no turbo it will not hurt anthing at all my personal thought is break the motor in with out the turbo and let the rings seat good in the cylinder walls then turbo it and have fun
