Default lowering compression on a CVH

Iv just bought a 1.6 cabby with a non turbo cvh engine i have a lot of turbo parts in my garage and was wondering if it was possible to lower the compression ration on the engine so i can fit said parts to make it a turbo engine

Yes you can fit turbo pistons to lower the compression, but you will also need to drill the turbo oil return in the front of the block
