So, with my LS engine, what kind of build ups should I be looking at to get the engine prepped for turbo?
I'm planning on getting the Greddy LS turbo kit when it is finally released, because I'm in California and they have strict smog standards.
I'll be more or less running it at the stock psi of around 8-10 psi.
I realize I should be looking at stronger pistons, rods, etc....but what do you people think I could get away with as far as stock internals with running a pretty conservative psi?

I've read a few posts about LS stock internals running on conservative boost without a problem.
Also, I do have a racing clutch, so that's not a problem, but I've heard from some people that lightened flywheels aren't good with turbos (I'm thinking they were wrong though) and I have also heard that light flywheel is good for turbo (helps it spool quicker, etc)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
