Why can't we turbocharge a 3s-ge?

Why can't we turbocharge a 3s-ge?, Compression ratio related

dudeofchaos View Member Profile Enthusiast Joined Dec 9, '08 From Blainville Currently Offline Reputation: 4 (100%)	I know that the 3s-ge engine has a higher compression ratio than the 3s-gte (which I guess means that the pistons' head are thiner right?), but what does it change so that we can't (or shall not) turbocharge the 3s-ge? Is it because it would (I don't know) be too much compressed exhaust gases for the turbo to hold? BTW: what does the last number in the compression ratio mean?

I mean seriously i agree, the redtop seems to be the way to go in terms with turbocharging a 3sge. -------------------- (\__/) (='.'=) This is bunny.
