For the turbo.. I've always heard that the compression was 180 stock, but that might be for the KA24DE or even the s14.
Your compression is way off, and I wouldn't turbo it. I'd find out what is wrong with your car before the turbo goes on.
Bieng 40psi off is something terrible. Does your car blow smoke during startup, idle, or acceleration? If you did boost on it, whatever is broken in there will let boost pass through, and possibly do more damage.

Thing is, the tapping wasn't there before.
My car never blows smoke under any conditions. She has been sitting for about 2 months now due to being winterized. But I run her for about 10 minutes every week. I doubt this would contribute? Also, after I warmed the engine, it was about 30 mins or so before I could actually test the compression due to getting all the crap disconnected.
The guage I got is fairly cheap ($15 US), perhaps it's inaccurate? How much would a garage charge to test the compression?
Thanks.
