Stock internals for boosted 12A?

What internals do I need to change in my 12A if I wanted to turbocharge it? I want to run a blowthrough setup but want to make sure before I put my motor back together I put int he proper seals, springs etc....

the internals are fine for plenty of turbo hp as long as it is tuned properly.

he is right. 3mm apex seals is a good advantage we have stock. Just don't crank up too much boost.

search.

3rd gen corner seal springs are supposed to handle boost better than the stock ones or something. I wouldn't tear apart the engine just to change those, but if you're taking your engine apart anyway, why not? They're actually half as cheap too.
