I see. You need to have a goal in mind before you go looking for a motor. Protege garage is an excellent company, and the moeny you spend is well worth it with them on a built block.
You can piece it together on your own, but it'll work out to be about the same once you get your block machined and al that. Unless you can work a deal.

Stock is 9.1:1....
Ten pounds of boost on an MP3 ECU = bad news. You will need some sort of fuel and timing management for that.

No way. Stock is 9.1:1 and always has been on the FS-DE 2.0-liter motor found in all Protege's that ran it.

Forged isn't faster simply because it is forged. All forged pasrt do is help make the rotating mass a little stronger to deal with added pressure.
Running 10 psi on 9.1:1 is fine (depednign on turbo size), you just need to make sure you have proper fuel and timing to make it safe. Even forged motors can be blown from doing dumb things.
Running 9.1:1 compression also means you will have decent off boost power, it will feel like stock.
Adding gas is what makes power. Adding compressed air helps with combustion, but you need enough fuel to burn with that added air or you will have issues.

I would suggest this. I believe its an FS-ZE, the sport 20 motor, since it has the FS-ZE Intake mani. Cheap price too.... Just wish i could buy it.... Come to think of it, has anyone turboed the FS-ZE motor?

Yes, one has been turbo'd...No, it's not worth it.
