ARIAS forged pistons & ring seating

I have arias forged pistons with chrome rings in my 96 D16Y8. My problem is that I'm having trouble getting my rings to seat. What I want to know is, if i put boost to it would that help the pistons expand and seat the the rings? Any suggestions would help. Thanks.
