10.8:1 is a high CR for a boosted 2-valve engine. I would try supercharger with max 0.6bar of boost on 98roz. Your cam has too much overlap for higher boost levels - the pressurized air will be "wasted" into the exhaust.

Turbocharger will rise the exhaust backpressure. Combined with high cam overlap and high CR the engine will tend to knock earlier.
