Default Piston Ring Question

What kind of piston rings would you guys use when going forced Induction. Is stock OK or is it not as good as another brand. I will be using the stock pistons and bore.

Opinions welcome,

If you are going to stick with the stock pistons, I would just use stock rings. Although depending on how many miles you have on the motor you might want to do a little rebuild before going turbo (rings, seals, bearings, gaskets). It would probably extend the life of the motor quite a bit......

well, I planned on getting new rod bearings, valve seals and piston rings. I was just wondering if an aftermarket set would be better than OEM for replacement.

stock should be fine in your case. Just remember, dont buy total seal......
