The higher compression you run on a boosted motor, the more sensitive it will be to changing conditions. (outside temps, Intake air temps, timing, etc) You will make more power, with lower boost levels on a higher compression motor. It depends on how much power you're trying to make, usually daily driven cars should see between 9:1 and 10:1. I like CP and Wiseco pistons.
