unless they are planning on adjusting the ratio by changing pistons and heads I don't think this will happen. it would make the SC a very expensive kit.
Welcome to the world of direct fuel injection and modern engine control systems. It can be done, but not at as high a boost pressure/power level as you would be able to do with less of a static compression ratio. In fact, there is nothing saying they won't lower the compression ratio a bit for the upcoming forced induction variant.
