Default Best Pistons for me to use?

I am going to be turboing my car and I am buying the pistons soon and I have to determine which ones are the best for me.... I have a d16y7 and I want to get 230-250whp with a t3 .60/.48... I will run however many psi it takes to get these numbers up to 15 pounds

should I get the regular compression or low compression pistons

what exactly do they mean by notching of the block... it says I need to do this in order to use these pistons

and these are running at regular compression?

do you know what a notch is?
do you know what a block is?
if the answer is no to either of those questions, google the word.
to notch a block means to notch a block.
