Internals for Turbo

OKie, everyone has seen the fuel setups, turbo kits, and tunin stuff. What about internals? I'm just talking basic too. I know for my EX, new pistons..compression lowering i think. What about rods? I contacted Whip Factory, and they said it might be a problem cause D17A2 has small rods, that break easily? Anything else needed? Obviously head gasket and what not.

who knows who knows?

Full race makes a good rod. I'm sure any company that you can send a rod or at least the specs, they can make you a set. Depends on how much power you plan on making, though and how well you're tuned for it.
