You could always put the turbos that come stock on the 3000GT and have full boost at 2400rpm... would probably crap out though after 6k
There is a lot of debate about whether the higher compression ratio significantly affects spool time. The short answer is, not really. The long answer is, higher compression will give you better off boost performance until you hit boost. Also the extra heat from compression causing additional pressure in the exhaust manifold to spool the turbo has to be significantly higher from a pressure ratio standpoint to make a significant difference, but that doesn't happen to that extent.
