Alright I used to own a 98 GST Spyder, they do push 14lbs. stock and they are quicker than first gen front drivers not awd. There is also no way for him to be pushing under 14lbs. of boost because the wastegate has a set spring inside, when boost reaches that high it opens and lets exhaust gasses bypass the turbo. You can go higher with a boost controller which is basically a check valve which delays boost from getting to the wastegate until a higher boost pressure. So heres what there is to look at, he is possibly pushing 14lbs. or more and is just lying to you in that case your cars toast, he could have something wrong under the hood, bad turbo for one, if this is the case you will most likely see smoke from the exhaust due to him burning the oil thats lubricating the turbo, or he has a boost leak that he doesnt know about. If hes actually only pushing 7 to 9 I would say you have a chance. Its only a 2.0L 4cyl with a 9.0:1 CR I believe. First gens were 7.8:1. Hope this helps you some.

Why are you bringing an old *** thread back? Obviously the OP wasn't very intelligent....after 5 pages he never even said what body style it was
