Yes, turbo is nice and reliable if using little boost. But it is expensive. You can check out cbperformance hideaway turbo. I really see no point in getting 88mm pistons if you cant get 90.5 for the exact same price of both pistons and case machining, and probably save on the heads since you can get an "off the shelf" hi-po head. Another thing, is that i don't like a turbo kit with carbs, since you'll never get the optimum performance unless you heavily mod them, and still they can't compare with a nice EFI. But that's just me bitching, carbs and turbo do work, just not as good as EFI and turbo

Oh and if you got irs, dont get a camber compensator, get a rear swaybar
