I've decided to turbo my D16A6, and put a Y8 head on it with Arias pistons, Eagle Rods, but I don't know any good companies that make rings. What would you guys recommend. The block is going to be sleeved, so should I do full seal rings or what?

what rings did arias recomend? Unless their oversized I'd personally use stock rings. But get more opinions and ask in the tech section.

i wouldnt go with a mini-me setup if i was you, there notorious for overheating, and being VERY unreliable, sure its more work, but i say go with the whole y8, or better yet (less work) go with the z6, there almost the exact same engine, and i dont think the extra work is worth the 1 extra hp. and 1 extra ft. lb of tourque

I have to agree i have heard about the mini me swap over heating...and it so easy to swap in a Z6/Y8.....and unless you go over sized pistons i would use stock rings...if you do go over sized ask the piston maker what they recommend...
