    Read in the context of the first post I mentioned it - lower compression engines take to it better. Im not saying it cannot or should not be done - its just that they are hardly the optimal engine for it.

    No, lower static compression engines are more suitable for one particular application of turbocharger technology, that's all. There are numerous ways to apply turbocharger technology to engines, and low static compression, short duration, high boost applications, are merely one of those.
