If you plan to rebuild for power do it all up. I'm talking about 3s rods with your 5s crank. Turn down the crank to accept the rod and get some forged pistons in there. Factory 5s crank with factory 3s rods or go with pauter rods and forged cp pistons. You're probably set there on the block. Now the head, where all the gains are made on the 5s. Get your head a port and polish job. And most importantly get your cams regrind. Get a valve job done and boost that baby. You'll make huge gains, but then again thats just the build. You're still going to need your turbo parts. Parts alone will cost you up to 3 thousand. The turbo parts plus rebuild, not my way of going. Just get a 3s swap and minor stuff will get you to 270 to the wheels.
