Default stock GSR pistons

I have a question about boosting my GSR, is the stock compression okay for boost only about 8-9 psi. I'm just not sure if I should get lower CR pistons to safely boost?

Which turbo's are best for only about 250-275whp on a B18C1, I think a T3/T4 is a bit too big. Any smaller that still use the t3/t4 style flange for the DP?

You can get internal wastegate adapters for the Ford style housings used on the "aftermarket" Garretts from Fords.

I ran a .57 trim T3/To4E with .48 AR stage 2 turbine on a B18B1 and LOVED it. Spooled super quick and i never had a problem with it dying out up high. I really liked the midrange powerband and part throttle boost.
