nothing....all kits will work fine on an other wise stock engine as long as you keep the boost to 7psi.

when running to uch boost on a stock engine u will run lean I believe, u will the detonate and blow ur **** up, some people get head gaskets to lower their compression, apparently it works because they have incredible times

recomend a bottom end rebuild? ---personaly, I say no, some people say yes, but when I see cars running 11's on stock internals I am impressed

If you are to boost it more like 8+ then Would you recommend a Bottom end rebuild? What are the most common problems (As far as Breaking things) when running too much boost in a Stock engine?
with proper tuning you can do 11psi on a b series motor....but things can go wrong very quickly....so unless you have done alot of tuning, and research...I would recommend staying under 9psi on stock internals.

the worst , also you can crack your pistons for running way to much boost and no tunning !
if you plan to make the most power out of the turbo and you want to run 12lbs+ then go with a bottom end rebuild
