Default What determines required compression ratio for turbo applications?

Howdy all,

Im curious, what exactly determines required C/R for turbo applications? i.e. of late, i keep hearing people say "you need low comp for big boost", i kind of get the jist in as much as a headgasket can only take a given amount of internal pressure, but how do the two relate?

Just done a comprehensive article in Fast Ford that covers such things if you can grab a back issue.
