Turbo ZC

i plan on getting a zc motor and when i do i am going to throw my turbo on it. what are some good things to do to the motor so that the turbo will run smooth, i only plan on boosting it around 10 maybe 12 psi.

i'd put in new pistons and an intercooler

Yea, you8 definatly upgrade the internals on the ZC if you plan on turboing the engine because the ZC engines are known to sit for a while and not very reliable unless rebuilt. So up grade to lower compression pistons which handle boost better, and get new connecting rods, and port and polish the head for better flow, and deffinatly get an intercooler and you can put about 8-10 psi of boost. If you kept stock internals, i would not run any higher than 4 or 5 psi because you wouldnt want to blow up your engine!

where can i find low compression pistions and some rods? and what are some good intercoolers to look for
