Now that you know its got low compression on the #1 cylinder, pull the head and let us know if its the head-gasket, valves or the rings. Since it came up with a little oil in there, its probably the rings. Since you have to pull the pistons to do the rings, this might be a good time to put in forged pistons and be done with it and then you can put the boost to it without worrying :-)
Then you can say gt3071 or gt3076 or 500bhp or whatever... :-)
Good luck and let us know what you find when you get it torn down,
John
