Question KA24E Piston Questions

ive been to some different website that have various compression ratios for the SOHC 2.4L Nissan engines. im not sure if nissan came out with different engine internals for the different models (i doubt it), or if the websites dont know what they are talkin about (highly possible). any who help me out and throw me some numbers on the ka24e compression ratios. trying to figure out what pistons i should go with for a Ka24de-t project in the near future.

thanks
china

dont use single cam pistons if youre going turbo. dont really want to mix boost and really high compression numbers.
