im going to get my b18a block on monday, planning to build a turbo ls vtec, which rods are best to handle moderate boost with forged pistons.

For moderate boost, any forged rods should be fine. Crower, Eagle, Manley, Pauter; the choice is really up to you. I wouldn't recommend it but you could chance stock rods with ARP bolts if running ~8-11psi.
