Default ford Sapphire 2.0 GLI TURBO

Hi there

Im from South Africa , I want to re build a 2.0 as a turbo , as somone decided to re arrange my car on the highway
As you can see i will have to transplant it into another body

I want to fit a turbo to the 2.0 pinto motor

I have a few questions
  1. Do I have to drop the compression , Im not greedy 0.5 bar boost is enough for me
  2. if i have to drop the compression can i get away by skimming the original pistons
  3. if so by how much
  4. can i use the stanadard head gasket ?
thank you
