Compression is compression.
If you don't have it static, you create it dynamically with the turbo.
a 10:1 motor on 9 PSI is the same thing as an 8.5:1 motor on 12 PSI.*
If you manage charge temps and fueling/ignition correctly, a high-compression motor with less boost will run circles around a low-compression motor with more boost at the same power levels because the off boost and throttle transition areas with be faster.
