S5 N/A Turbo Question - S5 to High Compression for Turbo?

Ok, I'm definitly going to be going N/A turbo.

I purchased a S4 motor to put in my S5 while I rebuild the S5 motor. A friend of mine spoke with someone from Rotary Performance in Manassas VA. They said you can't turbo the S5 n/a motors because the compression is to high. I know Aron has tubro'd his S4.

Has anyone turbo'd a N/A S5?

Yes, you can. The only difficult part is it must be tuned properly, because there's less margin for error due to the higher compression.
