Hell, there were so many kits released with FMU's in the early Honda days, tuning the ECU was unheard of. I know we have a plastic manifold, but is an SDS style Extra Injector Controller that bad an idea for those who really want to burn the wick at both ends?

Alright... now who's the first guinea pig?

12:1 is a high compression ratio, just adding it blind could ruin the engine. Adding a turbo is not cheap, it would be a really expensive replacement if it was too much to handle.
