Default Low compression do I need it

I am building an engine at the minute and am debating wether or not to go low compression. I am only wanting to run about 15psi of boost and would like the car pull more at the bottom end rather than the top. Should I leave it standard with regards to the compression ratio. It will be running a stage 2 turbo as thats what I've got and just had it rebuilt but want as little lag as possible. I have been looking around and it seems the higher the compression the more torque you get but obviously I can't go too far due to detonation etc.
