Default Re: B18 ls with p30 pistons--turbo maybe?

the motor is built and put together, so I'm like you I question boosting on high compression. Think I might either run it N/A for awhile and then buy forged rods, and pistons and then install them. Or I might get the turbo setup now and run low boost at like 5psi for awhile. Had a friend run a stock b18c5 with 5psi on a t3/t4 .63 all day long with no problems.
