yes power delievery for a turbo is not exactly the greatest. however why spend soo much money on a N/A thats not even goin to be close to making 275hp and is always on the threshold of tearing itself apart? a high tuned n/a motor is more stressful then a light turbo setup. yet the turbo setup will yeld more power. also that setup of yours is goin to cost more then putting a turbo in. and also yes you got a point about your compression yelding more hp. however its alot more knock prone. no matter how little boost you run. also if you got a ecu tuned for n/a your gonna have to scrap it again becusae n/a tune is by leaning out and advancing timing. the 2 biggest no no's for a turbo car. so that combined with hi compression pistons = blown engine heaven. i know a guy who has 9:1 forged pistons in his 240. he didn't do shit about the timing. and he was running fatter injectors and had a wide band 02 sensor and was running 10-11:1 A/F ratio and he still blew his engine 3 times!!!! so tuning plays a big part definitly. considering that i still have my stock 9.5:1 compression and is still running strong with no smoke for over 30K mile.
