Default ZC turbo issues

Hello everybody! I just have my crx ZC turbo built and I have some issues.My engine is D16A8 DOHC, I got some PM6 pistons in it but now I do not know what size should be the new head gasket.I have a thicker head gasket than the OEM one,but I don't want to have a compression that will be too low.I found a link which indicates me that ZC head combined with PM6 pistons gives 8,24 compression.So,what do you think: should I use a normal head gasket or a thicker one? The people who already did this on their own engine.Thank you

oem thickness or thinner IMO. 8.24:1 compression is VERY low and will probably feel more sluggish out of boost

so you think that this compression is too low?what compression do you think is ideal?
i forgot to say: my car is an '89 CRX and the turbo used is small,similar to T25.
