Yes, since the possibility of detonation rises along with the compression ratio. If you think I'm an idiot, then you're wrong. Go to
www.preludepower.com and search for a post called "Raise Compression with Turbo". It's been proven. So before you run your mouth off about people not knowing what they are talking about, why you don't you get your facts straight. You're wrong, plain and simple.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Higher compression with turbo will always yield better HP than lower compression assuming tuning is very conservative.
