If you plan on boosting, go with dish topped pistons with a moderate bore, like 0.020" over. That way, you can handle more boost with higher compression. Don't go any lower than 9.5:1 cr. It will take forever to reach boost pressures.Depending on how much cfm your turbo will yield, you may even want to shoot for higher compression.
If this were my build, I'd also go ahead and get some forged rods. Honda rods aren't meant to handle high horsepower from forced induction.
