Thats really really high? I don't think those numbers are correct. I'm sure i am wrong but that seems really high. Did they build any turbo 2.4 over seas? How about the turbo dodge srt4 piston is it possible they will interchange? Just thinking?

Compression ratio is simply the volume of the combustion chamber + piston dish divided by the displacement of one cylinder. A longer stroke gives a larger displacement.
When you see a piston specified with a given compression ratio, that specification is at a given stroke and combustion chamber volume.
A piston with a CR of 7.8:1 for a 2.0L 4G63 is specified for an 88mm stroke and a combustion chamber volume of 47cc. It is certainly not specified as 7.8:1 with an 100mm stroke.
