You say you want aftermarket parts, then you say you're gonna go turbo, and want to strengthen/build the 7afe for the turbo set-up... now... unless someone makes a do-it-yourself motor building kit... don't waste your time.

All of the strengthening stuff (forged pistons [can use 4agze pistons as mentioned] forged crank, custom strengthened rods, etc...) HAS to be custom built. It's not cheap. You can't find a place that will advertise that sort of work on a motor that isn't a popular boost engine... so all you can do, is ask shops to see if they can custom fab parts for you.

As far as OBX goes... they "claim" to make a lot of parts, but call em up and 1/2 of their shiat isn't even in production... if those parts were, I'm sure every other ST and corolla dude will have em.
