I've recently bought some of the key parts from another slant six fan's turbo project. While I initially plan to run the turbo on an internally stock 225 (with a forged crank), eventually I will probably want to rebuild the engine to take more power and more boost. Other than forged pistons, what can be done to make a slant six stronger for forced induction? What parts of a slant six bottom end have been known to fail, either under boost or on stock motors?

Do the oil system modifications as per the Doctor. Use full groove main bearings. Polish the combustion chaimbers.
