Define "good". What I think is good you may not.
read "CLICK HERE all of you curious about suspension setups and their costs/reliability." and other articles.
thnx i had couple friends telling me to save the money till i go boosted.... so i guess ill do that but another question, when you hit any bumps did it adsorb the hit or u still felted
If the Y8 is healthy, boost it. To make it more reliable, port the oil pump and galley and some ARP rod bolts and you'll be good to go for boost.
STAY OFF EBAY FOR BOOST PARTS

10PSI from what, a T28, GT60? It makes a big difference. From what you've said so far, as long as the motor is healthy, you don't need to do internals.
Im gonna run with a t3/t4 turbo my brother had i dont remember the trim. Knowing me if i like how it drives im gonna boost up and might not have the money to buy the internals since i always have unexpected expences
As long as the motor is healthy, factory internals can handle that. If you want to up the boost later, you can either spend a couple grand on forged internals and still have a ceiling, or you can call up Darton. Fully built, sleeved block ready for stupid power for about $3500, last I talked to them. If you don't want to spend more than you have to, skip the middle "just pistons and rods" step, because you'll probably be buying new ones when you sleeve.
A lot of parts are okay to buy off ebay. Lines, piping, IC, etc etc are okay. You'll even save a little bit. But it's a 50/50 shot with ebay turbos. Not worth it. My friend had an ebay turbo and the shaft got messssssed up.
OP, just do your research. You'll learn what you need to do. Don't rush into it.
