well even though i'm not a turbine master, i'd think you'd want to lower compression, since the turbo is force induction, you're gonna be adding a lot of pressure, so why raise compression? you'll blow your turbo and hurt your piston rings.

depends on what compression ratio.

if its only like 12:1 you can still push more boost and run higher octane without going too lean, or having anything explode.
