Eagle Rods and JE Pistons are a cheap solution.

Eagle Rods are made from 4340 the same as Pauter, Carillo, and etc. But they steel comes from china so its not certified. But I feel that they won't be a problem for any turbo short of HKS 2835s or TD06-20Gs.

Also don't fall for these huge overbores. The smallest bore that can be used is best. Now if you are talking about putting in new Sleeves that are bigger and thicker than thinking about 90mm pistons. But thats not cheap and not needed. Make sure machine has a Torque plate. Get ARP main studs.

Have your heads pressure tested and atleast replace your valve springs as they are a wear item. So are hydrolic lifters but those get expensive.

Remember Fred Did 540RWHP at 17PSI on stock heads and cams.

Or Zo with a mild head porting and JWT springs I think his was 575RWHP?

So in the case of the build up focus on the turbo. I think the TD05-16G is a good buy as it coms witht intak piping, wastegates, manifolds, and turbos. Yes you will want to have it reinforced.

The other good idea is Greg Dupre Manifolds, and Sport 600s.

Good Luck Man.
