low compression gasket or decompression plate is not a very good way to lower compression ratio although it may run good on low boost levels.
the best way is to install low compression pistons.

you can find them on:
www.kspec.com
www.rpw.com.au

what boost pressure are you gonna run?

we really dont know to much about the 1.6 beta, so i dont know about what pistons would work.

as long as its still a "beta" though, im sure the decompression plate from alpine developments would work. someone was selling one a long time ago either here or at www.hyundaiperformance.com. you might want to do some searching through the for sale forums for it.

use one step colder spark plugs.

If stock is NGK BKR5ES, use BKR6ES


but I don't know what gap should be there.
