from my understanding and what i have heard from those who have built blocks to handle boost, high compression and boost just don't play together well.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

+1 some people chance it run a thicker head gasket and have to tune accordingly but if you want to run a decent amout of boost (not what the wastgate spring puts out) then go with low compression pistons....

If you don't have deep pockets, stay all motor.
If you want to go fast, its going to cost you, go turbo
