    either i want to keep the stock compression 9:2:1

    or i want to increase it either to 9:5:1 9:7:1 10 but no more than 10:5

    just can't decide i only want to buy pistons once if necessary pistons of choice is Ross with Pauter Rods

    As a general rule a lower compression ratio will allow you to run more boost on pump gas... a higher compression ratio will get you better off boost response and net you more power but you will have to have lots of octane.

    youre stock compression ratio should be fine.

    so keep stock fucking compression....why did you bother posting this forum or asking that question? if you know what you wanna do, then go fucking do it. 10:1 is fine for a turbo motor. tuning, octane, build.can't run like 40lbs boost....but c'mon, why the hell would you? 2 bar is WAY more than enough for any motor to make ASSLOADS of HP.
