I wanna start building up my engine for use with a T3-T4 Hyrbid turbo, with Spearco IC. What should I do/replace in my engine in order to keep the engine going strong for miles to come, and to safely run boost higher than 5 psi ( preferably to 7+ psi ) ?
And when it comes to fuel mods, at what psi should I start putting these in? For anything over 5 psi?

The car (GT) will handle at least 9 psi with NO INTERNAL run over 9 and get a A/F controller. Thats all.

You can run some boost on the stock GT engine without problems, although most people stick with 6-7psi. The 10:1 compression helps, and the stock parts are of reasonable quality.
If you want to go faster, we have forged pistons and rods for the 1ZZ. Dropping the compression ratio allows you to run considerably more boost while losing very little off-boost power.
