Default Whats different 7mge/ 7mgte

for starters im not retarded i kno tha MGE is NA and the MGTE is turbo...
but where im confused is the specs and what makes the compression different...
i know u can turbo-charge a MGE fairly easy in theory but lots of tuning is involved, but these are the specs that confused me

7MGE Specifications:

Displacement: 2954 cc (180.2 cu in)
Bore: 83.00 mm (3.27 in)
Stroke: 91.00 mm (3.58 in)
Compression Ratio: 9.1:1
Weight: 199 kg (440 lb)

7MGTE Specifications:

Displacement: 2,954 cc (180.3 cu in)
Bore: 83.0 mm (3.27 in)
Stroke: 91.0 mm (3.58 in)
Compression Ratio: 8.4:1
Weight: 210 kg (463 lb)
