To be fair if your keeping the boost quite low with an S/C then you wouldn't need to lower the comp! The XE is a nice strong engine anyway!

Eaton M45 for example only boosts to soemthing like 4psi iirc, you wont need to lower the comp to compensate IMO, know loads of people running them on standar engines

Leave a plug out.

Throw a rod.

Loosen the head.

Drill holes in the pistons.
