I've seen it! someone did it with their red C2


compression isn't a huge factor, fuel type, quantity, air temp and ignition timing I think affect how much boost you can use more - things which affect knock. I'll get corrected no doubt, I'm pretty clueless. I'm a diesel man at heart and i upped my compression to 25:1... with boost

Really? I'm sure someone could do it, but for the time and effort (and effectiveness) I would probably still go standalone unless it is considerably cheaper than a standalone.

25:1 on a saxo? wow!
That's nothing for a diesel, but I am surprised your saxo didn't turn itself inside out hahaha!!
