Default purchase new piston and rods

Ok. I was just going to turbo my car that has 72,000 miles on it and i was a little worried it wont last in reliablity. So i purchase some je forged piston and rods to replace my current stock. I was only planning to boost 10 psi. Should i increase now that i have perfomance piston and rods?

its a d16y8. I was originally just going to order new stock piston and rods to handle the boost but then i was like "why dont i get performance ones?"
I already purchased 450cc dsm injectors(with the hack) from an eclispe to handle the 8-10 psi i was going to push. Put with perfomance piston and rods i can actually increase the boost i imagine.

----. I was hoping since i've purcased perfomance parts i could up the boost. So the most i could only boost to is 11 psi with the hack. that sucks

well there are ways to boost more with the hack but i doubt a lot of peeple here recommend it. with all the ecu programs going around thats probably your best bet to boost more that 10.

well at least I establish my goal of reliability. Those piston and rods should last me boosting 10 psi daily

yeah i know. But im all about realiablity and im not sure my piston and rods will last that long. So to be on the safe side i purchased the performance parts.
