Default reliable turbo?

I have a dseries in an 88 hatch dx its the dual point.
i'm going to convert it to multipoint.
besides that, what should I do to build it up to be reliable with a turbo?

new pistons and rods i assume since d series rods are weak from what I've read.

will I need stronger headstuds?

it's a daily driver so I'm not trying to go past say 8-10lbs at the most.

I'd appreciate any help. thanks.

z6
tuner toys rods
vitara pistons
valves and valve springs
arp head studs


whatever turbo you want up to ~400whp

id say personally, a 50 trim and run about 20lbs.

good setup there.
