I've seen companies that wil increase the displacement of the engines by fitting larger cylinders and pistons. The biggest yet was a 4.0L TT engine (there's no replacement for displacement AND lots of boost). If you had this done, they could fit low CR pistons at the same time. If you want names though, I'll have to get back to you.
