You would need to replace the pistons with flat tops. To really make it worthwhile, you don't want to go to all that trouble and then have to limit the boost too much. Hence a full engine strengthening program. Flat top pistons reduce static compression ratio. A turbocharger effectively increases it - a lot! Probably about 11psi boost to start, but people run higher.
The piston in the photo is a proper turbo engine one - not sure who by now, but may have been Cosworth.
