The high compression ratio probably limits you to 10-12 psi. The fuel limitation will probably keep you below that. Each turbo setup will flow a different volume of air for a given psi (lots of variables go into figuring this out). So, you may find a setup that pushes a lot of air at 8 psi will be all you can handle given the fuel limitations and another setup will not max out until 10 psi. The compressor maps will help you figure out how efficient it is (how much air it can push for a given psi among other things), but your overall flow will be impacted by the intercooler and piping as well. Lower psi means lower temperatures and lower pressure build up in the cylinders. Both of these are good.
