you can easily get your compression to 7:7:1 if you want to with p & p, 1.8 cam, 1.8 ecu and a few other things. I think caj darkmoon or someone did a DIY for doing your own P&P work. It really is mostly time with a dremel tool and sandpaper and since you pulled your own engine I would think you could do it yourself.
Running 20-25 PSI is high on a Beta 1 engine. You can find several tibs on RDT running high PSI on stock engines. Most seem to run in the 16-17 range on stock compression but some test the waters with higher numbers. I don't believe there are many that boost over 20 regularly.

i'd rather a professional port and polish it for me, since i've read if you don't do it the right way it'll have a negative effect rather a positive one.
