Default compression? and throttle body?

is was looking at 034 motorsport's web site and they don't tell you much about what some of the products do or what is the ideal use so i have a couple ofcuriostyquestions about some other there products

Question #1 is what would you gain by dropping the compression?http://www.034motorsport.com/product...roducts_id=239

Question #2 is what would you use this for other then to put a bigger throttle body on but what would be gained?
http://www.034motorsport.com/product...roducts_id=570

lets say the car has a stock k03 turbo

generally the idea behind dropping compression is that it'll enable you to run more boost andmore timingwithout risking pre-detonation. cincyTT will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe a water/methanol injection kit will do roughly the same job and it's a lot less work to install.

edited for some less than spectacular grammar.

Dropping the compression is for running more boost. You should never do that on a stock turbo, or anything smaller than a gt2871. I still refuse to lower compression because i rather have the faster spool with the compression along with more power before boost and during boost.

The TBdoesnt become a restriction untill the ic pipingbecomes larger than the tb, again usually gt2871r or larger.

so from what you are saying is that these parts are to aid a big turbo setup which is what i figured
