Default boost newb

hi guys im new here and im currently wire tucking and smoothing an eg hatch. the car is bare at the moment and is nearing time for the respray. im hoping to get something special done with the b16 im currently running, im making the rest of the car special so wanted to go possibly down the boost route. after reading a post by a fellow uk member about boost i wanted to ask about the treadstone performance b-series kit. i wanted to know what experiences people had with these kits good or bad and if the kit would be suitable for a goal bhp of 300 at the wheels?
id be planning on using arp headbolts and rodbolts, uprated bearings and some decent rods and low comp pistons. also what pistons, rods, bolts and bearings would you bguys advise??
much thanks

Your choice of piston. Not sure there is a big diff between all of them. Crower, pauter, or manley for the rods. Oem for the bearings. Arps for the head, all the rods will come with their own bolts. That should be good for way more power than most off the shelf kits will make.

Just go with some SRP pistons, eagle rods, clevite/king/acl bearings, honda head gasket, type R cams, some bigger injectors and a little bit of tuning should be running nicely in no time.
