Swapping stock B16 pistons for CTR pistons? (is it worth it?)

I'll keep it simple. I have a set of CTR pistons at my house, and was thinking about swapping them in to finish my N/A build while I'm saving for my boost build. Just trying to figure out if it's worth it. Here's what I have done so far.

Here what I have done so far from bone stock 4 months ago:
OBD I Conversion with custom chip from phearable.net
AEM V2 Intake
Greddy 4-2-1 Headers
HKS Hi-Power Cat-back
8.5mm wires
ACCEL High output coil
NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plugs
Brian Crower Stage 2 Cams N/A
SK2 Pro-Series Intake Mani.
SK2 Pro-Series Adjustable Cam Gears
SK2 Valves
SK2 Dual Valve Springs
SK2 Titanium Retainers
SK2 Short Throw and Shift Knob
3 angle valve job
head has been glass beaded and dipped

save your b16 pistons and use the money that you were gonna use for the CTR's and use it for you turbo, remember this, NA loves high compression, Boost likes lower but not to low

Sell off the CTR pistons to pay for a decent turbo.

What kind of boost setup were you thinking?
