Your stock rods can handle the power that turbo is capable of producing efficiently. You can also polish the beams on your own rods, weight match them, install ARP bolts and resize them for less than $130.

I would just get some vitara pistons and TT rods, then you can boost all u want all day long. That rod and piston combo has been proven over and over to handle 400+ HP

just go get some eagle forged rods, you dont need to build your motor for a tiny turbo like that

You could get some LS rods machined, bushed, and shot peened, and ARPs for about $140.
They are lighter than eagles to boot. So, if you are shooting for 350whp or less, get LS rods.

Vitara's dont knock. There is audible piston slap, but it is almost unnoticable when the motor is warmed up and the oil circulating. This set up has been proven reliable for over 400hp. If you are on a budget I think this is one of your best alternatives. But you will have to notch your block to fit the h-beams.
