well not sure what to do about internals im on a low budget so i cant do it the way id like to.. can you help? ive got a b18c w/skunk2 stage2 cams, and the rest of the internals are stock... i want to get a turbo setup going this winter, soo..
would i be better off leaving my stock pistons and going with forged rods, and run lower boost ~8psi? or could i run LS pistons that have lower comp, and run stock rods? im thinking that if i can use stock pistons i could save money by not having to bore my block. i plan on using arp headstuds no matter what i do.. can someone help me out? if anyone has any pistons/rods theyd like to sell pm me.. thanks

you can run ls crank rod and pistons but you may want to change down to stage 1 skun2 pistons skunk2 doesnt recomend stage2 for turbo

what kind of turbo are you planning on using?

8psi doesnt mean anything unless you tell which kind of turbo setup your usuing

if your planning on using a t3/t4 setup, your stock internals can handle 8-10psi
