I'm going low blow (8psi) on stock with stock internals. This will retain the B's drivability and give cracking performance anything aver 4k rpm. As far as I have found, this is what most people do, as opposed to lowering their comp.
B16 your correcting in saying that lowering the compression will compromise drive-ability. But its not a massive ammount..well not in my case. I think stock compression is 10.4 or 10.1 mines 9.1 you can also go 8.1 in some cases that wanna run upto 30psi lol.

But when you say this:
"upping the boost will only mean it will take longer to come on to boost, therefore compounding the situation?"

I think you might be confusing yourself. Upping the boost wont slow down the spool process it will just take longer to hit maximum psi. But thats why you see alot of conversations on here about the correct turbo to buy because its hard to get the exact spool time compared to Power you desire. Also exhaust manifolds, and wastegates come into play with this also.

Personally though i do think that higher CR setups on boost feel much better to drive daily but you wont get the safety or those massive HP numbers unless you go Lower CR and higher boost setups. Not everyone goes the High CR and low boost setups on here. Alot of guys have fully build motors.
