JE piston/Eagle rod rebuild
so if I rebuild my bottom end with forged JE pistons/eagle rods (basically the kit from modern) and I run it at 10.5:1 compression, can I turbo my car later down the road with that same compression ratio?

yeah sorry was half asleep when i wrote that.
turbos can run on higher compression engines. but you need to make sure you tune for it and more then likely will need to run lower boost levels

Its not impossible by any means to turbo an engine with 10.5:1 CR, but if you did actually do it the fuel tune would have to be rock solid (by that i mean practically perfect) and you would have to run the highest octane pump gas you could find at all times.
