Default Should I lower the compression?

I wanted to run a turbo on a l33 I have, but with it being 9.9 compression and 91 only being available should I swap the pistons to lower the compression? I’d want to run around 12psi or more and running on pump gas. What will get me to 500whp? I couldn’t seem to come across a lot on the l33 as far as being boosted. Thanks for any tips.

No......I'm running a 370 with 11.25:1 compression and a lsa supercharger. .....it's all in the tune, hi compression and boost is a myth....lol , more compression more power, add boost it only gets better......leave the flat tops in there!!!.....I'm running a 2.45" pulley and have made 13lbs not even trying!!!

Are you doing this with 91 or 93 octane? I'm thinking not but enlighten me.
