Default Compression differences for supercharging and turbocharging?

Another idiot post.

Jamsport build 300bhp engines with a supercharger using standard internals and compression. When companies achieve the same result with a turbo they need to lower the compression with new pistons.

How come? Why can't a turbo engine achieve the same power without lowering the compression given that they are both forms of forced induction?
