turbo beams??, turbo beams Options

[paul52]

hi
ive been reading a lot of this...i recently own a beams rep top engine for my AT180
the engine is totally swaped..finally
heres my doubt...i want to turbo my beams...i know its a high compression engine...so it need low compression pistons
but ..does anyone know who can make me some forged pistons? what else should i need besides that? vvti have to be removed?
from what ive read i know there are 2 succesfull turbo-beams..the hks and..a guy i think hes from uk thought and altezza-black top and 3sgte pistons wont fit...=( any ideas?
does anyone have some info about this project?
thanks in advance
paul =)

iv read that the 3sgte was basicaly a replacment of the 2jz.....is that correct?.......fixed up enuff the 3sgte can put out so much more then really wanted in a fwd street car.......as the beams can only go so far plus its hard to find aftermarket parts for the beams as to the 3sgte......if beams is already droped in car i would leave it as is and just go straight motor....imo adding turbo will only decrese the life of that great motor.........if u plan on having boost anyways then its best kept at low boost...if ur wanting high boost and plan to lower comp. then u mite as well go with a 3sgte....(note to presure if im mistakin something plz correct without the trash talk thx)
