high compression and low boost

with the new light weight rotors of the renesis coming out....... i heard that they are goin to have a higher compression. should i spend my money on a bigger turbo? or stick to the to4s that i have and just eventually replace my rotors with the high compression high revving renesis rotors (eventually) ? does high compression and low boost equal low compressin and high boost in power (if the effective compression is the same) please give me your opinion, i might not do anything about it....... but its always good to know what might happen...... thanks fellaz

The car hasn't even been RELEASED, and you're already talking about modding it...

You'll make more power with low compression and high boost.

The point of turbocharging is to increase the amount of air going into the engine. More airflow = more power. With low compression rotors, you can force more air into the engine without making internal pressures high enough to cause detonation.
