Default Low comp on turbo motor

does lowering compression on a turbo motor increase power or just allow you to add more boost safely?

it allows you to run more boost safely but by lowering your compression you will make less HP per LB of boost. You're best bet is to keep your compression around mid 9's if you dip into the 8's you're just starving yourself for power.
