-I used SRP (JE) pistons, i have heard good things about CP pistons, there is likely a thread that compaires different pistons. Check the faq or search for it.
-The skunk2 intake should be changed, it is pretty well known that there are much better manifolds for turbocharged hondas. Try a victor x or rev hard manifold.
-What are your power goals, "more power" is quite vague, and from how your setup sounds probably ~270hp and higher would be more power.
-Was your car tuned/dyno'd?

Re: turbo questions plz help (turbo_ek97)
your current turbo will only support 450ish wheel horsepower and thats at relatively high boost levels.
as far as sleeves, beson, ge or darton mid (what i personally use)
pistons - cp
rods - manley, crower, pauter, cunningham (i dont like eagles)
bearings - acl
oil pump - itr
headgasket - oem
and other little misc stuff.
the edelbrock is a good manifold if all you want is top end power, its deigsn to work from 6k on and below that it actually lost power compared to a stock intake mani. your best bet and best for the budget would be to just port the intake manifold that you have now

Re: (goldenchild45227)
why storke it, the only thing you could do is put the ls crank in it, but if you do like a 95mm eagle crank, the mean piston speed becomes so great that you cannot rev the motor higher than 7k at most, youd simply overstress the pistons to the point that they would self destruct
