you don't need either.. low comp pistons make it easier to tune and give you the option of having forged.

I know of a guy who used old GTP Grand Prix parts to convert his GT grand prix to GTP (turbo), but he had two oil feeds into the turbo and no drain.

There was no turbocharged GTP.. GTP's came into play in 1991, when the turbocharged models were dropped So there was a Grand Prix Turbo but no Grand Prix GTP Turbo
