ok well ive made my decision and I will be going LS turbo once I get all my parts and right now i'm going to replace my piston rings and since I will be inside my block, is there any IMPORTANT internal parts I should replace/upgrade for turbo. I know stock internals have been proven strong for boost, but would getting some rods,pistons, etc. be necessary? i'm going to leave my stock cams and valvetrain, so basically i'm only worried about my bottom end. all advice is welcome. thanks.

 

upgrade your rods while your at it.

 

are the rods more important to upgrade than the pistons? because I know the compression 9.2 on the LS is perfect for turbocharging so thats good. im thinking about crower rods with stock pistons. what else guys ?

 

If you had to choose one I would say pistons because the stock ringlands are kind of weak. If the motor is open I dont understand why you wouldn't just throw some eagle rods in there. It doesn't really make sense to do one and not the other.

Maybe the guy doesn't have a big bank account like you.

Its gonna cost him more in the end if one of those stock rods give out.
