Has nothing to do with being cheap. You don't need to build every N/A engine just to run a turbo.
I.E. Scion tC...2az comes stock 9:6.1 compression. Runs 350-400whp before needing internals. At 10psi you make 300whp/300wtq.
Plenty of N/A motors out there can have a turbo on them and not fear of detonation with the proper tuning. But most of them are not running 12:5.1 compression either. Anything over 11 in compression is considered high compression to me. Great for N/A, but not for boost, creating the higher initial cost to run turbo because you have to drop the compression.
