With som eplaying the bodies should go on and there should be no reason why they wouldn't work with a turbo, as for the weakest point that will depend on individual engines and abuse. Also the amount of boost from the turbo. In my experience the piston rings are the common fault that occurs. You can run a standard block but i would not suggest more than 6 psi although it is known to run up to 10 psi. 5 should be fairly safe. A decompression plate can be used to use a higher amount of boost but how much will depend on the compression ratio, the engine tends to run hotter with the plate. Or you can spend alot with low comp pistons and go down that route. The most important part I would say is map the car when its done don't leave it because it runs ok, that ends to be a common mistake and although you may well be fine more often than not problems will occur.

[QUOTE="Paul Smith, post: 509296, member: 2318"] With som eplaying the bodies should go on and there should be no reason why they wouldn't work with a turbo, as for the weakest point that will depend on individual engines and abuse. Also the amount of boost from the turbo. In my experience the piston rings are the common fault that occurs. You can run a standard block but i would not suggest more than 6 psi although it is known to run up to 10 psi. 5 should be fairly safe. A decompression plate can be used to use a higher amount of boost but how much will depend on the compression ratio, the engine tends to run hotter with the plate. Or you can spend alot with low comp pistons and go down that route. The most important part I would say is map the car when its done don't leave it because it runs ok, that ends to be a common mistake and although you may well be fine more often than not problems will occur.
