lol high for both if you want to make power- either way its all in the tunning
people lower their cr to lessen the chance of detonation because their running an fmu

I wouldn't use an FMU at all . You can run Uberdata for whatever it costs you to have an ECU chipped, buy a Walbro 225 for like 100 bucks and some injectors for ~300 bucks and run a lot safer than a cheap *** FMU.

properly tunned higher compression wouldnt matter -
i wouldnt run ridiculous comp like 12:1
turbo though- but 10:1 gsr stock is fine- lower comp builds need less tunning and run more boost- higher comp apps run higher comp less boost more tunning
with a perfectly tunned wouldnt need to run less on either imo ! but every one has their own way of doing things ( to be on the safe side they might say) if you dont have the money and or time run low comp if you have time and no money tune your self if you have both pay some one to do it for you ! lol

You could boost as much as you can before it pops. When it pops come back and let us know what the limit was.

genrally speaking off of a fmu people run 6 psi -
uber data tuned 8-10 psi
from there its all guessing on how strong your internals are still
the most ive seen is 15 psi and it ran well for close to 30,000 miles on stock internalled ls
