Lowering Compression?

[koabi@seeohdee.com (koabi)]

I've been wondering the same question.  The best way (from what I've
seen) is to get forged pistons, but they are not cheap ($600 and upwards
is what I've been seeing).  In my case, that puts me way outside of the
budget.  Another option I've come across is a $130 headgasket from Bahn
Brenner that reduces compression to 8:1 with OEM pistons
http://www.bahnbrenner.com/bbmservices/16v.html  I don't know if anyone
else has a similar product.  I also don't know of the risks involved
using such a headgasket, so someone feel free to chime in.

Whats the best way to lower compression in a 16v engine? Which would be 
easier to set up for forced induction, 1.8L or 2.0L? I would like to go
with 
a 2L Turbo proj. in the future, however, if 1.8 is the way to go, then
1.8 
is the way to go! TIA.
