You don't really want to turbo it. Keep telling yourself that.

But if you do, and keep it under 400 WHP, I really like my setup. GT2871R, 9:1 forged pistons, eagle rods, Hondata. You don't need to sleeve it if you keep the power/torque reasonable, and you'll break less **** that way.

it depends on the size of the turbo. 20psi on a small turbo isnt the same as 20psi on a big turbo. you need to have a power goal in mind and then figure out what setup will work best for that power level. stock internals are good for around 300whp on an ITR motor, but boost will take its toll on the stock pistons. tuning is key.

I'll be going for 300whp on stock internals here shortly. I will also be on Neptune.
