Awesome, thats cheaper than what i was looking at too! another note what kind of compression is good, or will i need.

 

Depends on if you are going turbo or not.

 

eventually i want to go turbo but i dont have the money nor time yet.

 

You are gonna want lower compression if you are gonna use a turbo, and higher if you are staying NA
