and someone explain why a lower compression is better for a turbo...like the pistons from turbodiscounters 8:5:1...
would it still be ok to boost a high compression NA car?

anything 9 and up your gonna have to totally redo your fuel system, because or civ's dont have a return fuel line. which means more money your gonna have to fork out. like the more boost your gonna want, the more money your gonna have to dish out for the car to be able those high levels of boost

We heard you! That's not insane for diesel engines.

I say... 30psi. Basically the maximum that one of those upgraded Eagle blocks can withstand.

If you're talking about a stock D17, then 10psi is insane. No amount of intercooling will save you from a blown head gasket.

8.5:1 is extremely low unless you plan on boosting 14+ psi on a regular basis for anything less you would be better off running 9.5-9.8:1 compression.
