I'm not sure why people continue to do that and go with lower compression. Lower compression should be a thing of the past. The turbo will be ok, but you will just have to run a lot more boost to run the same amount of power as a car with the same turbo and the OE compression. In my opinion, going with a lower compression doesn't make any sense. I would have kept the compression the same, put in some really good rods and some bearings and called it a day. The fact that we have BOTH port and direct injection saves us from needing to go with a lower compression.
