I'm boosting my LS/Vtec on 12lbs, on a stock rebuild. I would wait until you can get both rods and pistons. Besides, if I remember correctly, there will be an issue with the wrist pins working in forged pistons and stock rods.

Re: need advice
Do some searching about the capabilities of the b18b/a motors. They can handle more power than you're aiming for in stock form with a good tune.
Do some more reading about turbo sizes/specs. Saying I want to run 12 lbs on a t3 is VERY vague...
