Mark, you can go with an 11.0:1 compression and use a decompression plate
and it works.
Why? I have been asking the folks who build them from AVO Turbo in OZ land
down under. The Suzuki project car has an 11.0:1 compression and to apply
the AVO Turbo Stage-II (max due to the traction problems) will push around
250 fwhp. This will include a decompression plate, turbo kit and
intercooler.

I don't think so. A high-revving, high-compression engine is not a
friendly engine to turbocharge. I happen to have a custom-turbo car and it
takes a low compression engine to be minimum-easy to do the job. If anyone
has turbo'ed a *real* Type R (not a standard Integra with stickers) I
guarantee they spent a small fortune.
I really want a WRX Si....
