Because 8.0:1 and 8.2:1 are really friggin' low. Look, turbos love low compression it's true but more compression does help. You want to find a middle ground that allows for full use of the turbo's efficiency range and utilization of as much of the air as possible. By modern tuning standards, Subaru's compression is on the low side even for a turbo car.
