80871, upgrade rods and pistons?
Posted by got_NX, Dec-29-04 09:13 AM
I just bought a star turbo kit and replaced half of it with better parts. Not sure why I really bought it after doing this. I was wondering If I changed my rods and pistons would that be ok to run higher boost or do you need to change more out on internals? basically what is the least I can do but yet still be safe.

i am using the hahn stage 2 kit and only did the forged pisons, rings and eagle rods. i have had no problems at all. but it really just depends on how much you want to spend
