    Thermal loading is not the issue in this case but Any time you lower heat/thermal load you lower wear/maintence & increase reliablity. even at 20% load the turbo motor has higher thermal load compared to the na motor

    conversion of 8V71 Turbo to NA

    you'll be fine & probably better off with 17:1.just use injectors and injector height setting for the na motor.you'll use less fuel & lower the thermal & mechanical load on the engine without the turbo.you'll also increase reliability/lower maintence.The na motor is alot more reliable.I love...
