Yes am running high comp pistons, Gav is correct they dont make 1.4 pistons low comp off the shelf. Also with the mix and match head and block i didnt want to run the risk running compression too high.
If i decide the compression is too low i will remove and just run high comp pistons.

thought so, just looking at the pics 
i wouldnt worry about the compression being too low mate, my vtr is running really low on stock rods and pistons
we guesstimated mid-low 8's(couldnt get a good idea due to the head being skimmed a fair bit) and on a pretty tame ignition map mine made 218bhp on 15psi recentley 
should get some good power out of this on decent boost

Just with skimming the head and block and running high comp pistons i thought a wee bit safer to bring it back down to about normal compression.

This will be an epic build, one question though , you say its a brand new shell? where and how much was it if you dont mind me asking? I didnt even know you could buy new 106 shells anymore.

I bought the shell off a guy who stored it for around 7 years as a spare for rallying. Never been on the road and still in primer
