Default b18b1 boost

i finally decided today what i want to do with my motor... i am going to start piecing together a turbo kit but have a couple questions about my motor. its got 140k miles on it, all stock mostly highway miles (65miles one way to work everyday) compression is good, no oil leaks, no burning, runs strong. before i would even think about bolting a turbo up i would change my timing belt, oil pump, water pump, tensioner. i would more than likly swap out my head bolts for arp's as well. my question is, is it a good idea to change out the rod bolts with arp's as well? i only plan on 250 whp maybe a little more. also if i did change the rod bolts would i need to get new bearings or not?

you should be good with rod bolts unless you wanna be safe but you have to get the rods honed so the bolts fit. and head studs can hold about 5 psi before they start to stretch so get a set of them too
