Default Pistons

Hi all

I'm wanting 2 find out from u guys which would be the best pistons 2 use with my civic, i've got a b20 vtec motor that has been substantially modified, head has been completely modded stainless steel strengthened valves skunk 2 turbo cams, retainers, springs, guides etc.

Then the block and all components were balanced, reinforced and strengthened, Darton sleeves have been put in with a cylinder brace, cometic head gaskit is used, ARP bolts and head studs are used, standard main bearings, Conrods are Eagle, current pistons are Arias pistons but i'm worried for 2 reasons because the motor is turbo'd with a garret T4 1.6 bar boost and is putting out 400 kw at the wheels and it can rev up 2 12000rpm but these guys here in SA say that those pistons aren't going to last at these conditions and they say that this is due 2 the fact that the pistons i have now are causing my compression ratio 2 be 2 high.So i need some guidence for replacement pistons if thats really necessary any advice welcome. There is alot more that goes into my engine setup but thats a long story and i dont feel like typing foreva.
