help with 2000 rs

I have a 2000rs and i in the the middle of doing my motor and tranny. i am using all cobb tuning parts for the motor i have a CYLINDER HEAD STAGE 2 kit, also pistons rods header and catback exaust, 100 shot of no2 bigger fuel pump, cluch and flywheel. My concern is that i droped the motor off yesterday and they told me that the pistons are low compression pistons now is that going to be a problem if i decide not to turbo my rs? and if i do decied to turbo it what should i go with to get the best product of my money??

how much are you spending for ALL of this work/parts and everything? have you considered doing an EJ20 swap? that would cost about 6k for everything including pats and labor. and it would be more reliable. since you are already thinking about turboing your car later this would be a better platform to start on. my friend did the ej20 swap with drivetrain and suspension and the guy even swapped out the dash/seats so its really quick too.
before you spend all this money on nos/turbo/internals/ headaches think about that oh so expensive swap

i have all of this stuff already i have been getting more and more over the past year and the little stuff like the no2 and the cat back i had all that kinda stuff. money wise on the cobb tuning heads and pistons set me back now dont quote me i got my parts 4 months ago they where around 4 or 5 grand with my pump and my fly wheel also so it was not that bad.
