Yeah, definatly would be worth turbocharging, especially with the AU motor already in it. About the only way to make heaps more power, if you want a useable engine on the street anyhow.

Having the compression raised isnt good for the turbo setup

The dodgy way to lower compression would be to get a spacer or something and a 2nd head gasket. So that you have (from bottom to top) Block --> Gasket --> Spacer --> Gasket --> Head.
Or (the expensive way, and I dunno if this option is available with the E-series I6) shorter rods/shallower pistons... -Dave- |

It'd be worth going the full hog if you're going to the trouble of turbocharging it. You *might* get away with your current compression ratio if you limit it to low boost, good fuel, good intercooler setup, and a good tuning... probably easier in the long run to go all out though.
My car feels like it's got about 60rwkw, so you're doing alright...  I'll swap you :P
