LS/Vtec turbo with Forged Pistons... help

Building a b18a bottom end FOR BOOST, and im confused as to what pistons to order.. I wanna go with 9.0-1 Compression but im not sure which pistons to buy..

Is there a big difference between the b18c1/b16a pistons and then the b18a/b pistons..

I ordered Eagle Rods for the b18a/b block... i know thats right.. but confused about pistons..

well.. i found a set of CP pistons... and it kind of answered my own question...

These pistons are 84.0mm/3.307" designed for the B-Series engine (B16/17/18a/b/c/20). Part # SC7020. The compression height is 1.181". These pistons will yeild 9.0:1 compression. These are good for Turbo, Supercharger or Nitrous applications. These pistons will work with the B16/18a/b/c heads. The compression is based upon using the B16 head.

says its good for any bseries.. (B16/17/18a/b/c/20).
