what am i limited to as far as amount of boost turbo pistons can handle with factory rods and same compression as factory engine

reason i ask is i am in process of rebuilding a ka24de and plan to turbocharge it in the future BUT i dotn know how long it will be till that happens so i dont want to put lower compression pistons and loose power now untill i am ready to installt he turbo. plus you never know whats going to happen i may have to sell the car or whatever...

was thinking of keeping factory pistons since people say its [possible to run 7psi safely and rods are alreay forged, but i would rather spend extra 500 and know that i am not pushing the limits any

7psi is not pushing the limits of the internals, only the stock fuel system with an rrfpr.

The internals are good to 350-400 whp.

psi on a standard t3/t4 is probably good for about ~250hp. WELL within the capabilities of the stock componants as long as fuel is in order.
