Do's and Do'nts turbocharging 4agze

Stronger rods are necessary for higher revving engines, as long as you dont rev the shit out of the stock engine, it will cope with turbo just fine.
At high revs, the inertia of the piston pulling on the rods on the transition between the exhaust stroke and the intake stroke is the biggest force on the engine.
You could say that having the bigger bearings is a bigger benefit than the stronger rods. And ceramic coated pistons deal better with the heat.
