turbo you mean? lol. how much you want to spend on it? you need mf2 and sigcon to control the fueling side off things. And as it cheaper than 4 bigger injectors and standalone management, as ure only wanting low boost.

Really low boost, we are only talking a few PSI here you can get way with just upping the fuel pressure and tricking the ECU in to thinking it is cooler then it really is if your using good fuel. Much more then this and you have to start going more advanced.

You use a resistor in the air temp sensor so the ECU thinks its cooler then it really is. Then your best to use an adjustable boost varying fpr. As for turbo it would have to be a small one. You should be able to pick up one of the smaller T2 quite cheap if you shop about.

PS: there is a full kit on ebay for £400 that even has MF2 and SigCon management. It would be a better way to go if all the parts work.

For really low boost you don't need a considerable drop in compression. People have built low boost Saxos with out lowering compression. If you want to play on the safe side you can just run two head gaskets. People have run twin thick repair gaskets to 200bhp in the saxo. If you are getting to the point where you have to considerably lower compression you will also have to look in to more advanced fuelling systems.
