If you're going boost, you don't want anything to raise you're compression. You want parts that will lower your compression accordingly to your build, boost levels, etc.
CTR pistons and boost - NO
JE, CP, or other forged pistons at a lower compression ratio (9.0, etc.) - YES
CTR cams and boost - NO
A specific turbo cam from an aftermarket company or GSR cams - YES

CTR pistons are high compression and are not the best combo with turbo.
IF you are planning on turbo, look into Forged pistons from the various piston companies. We often use around 9:1 compression most of the time, but we also go with 10.5:1 pistons in other setups.
