Default question about CTR pistons

i have a 00 Si with CTR camshafts and i was thinking about buying CTR pistons. i'm planning going turbo in the future, and putting CTR pistons raises the compression and i've heard that for turbo it's better to have lower compression. is this true or should i just wait and buy lower compression pistons? thanks.

The CTR cams definitely belong on an NA motor. But if you plan to go boost, I suggest staying away from the CTR pistons.
