turbo beams??, turbo beams Options

[paul52]

hi
ive been reading a lot of this...i recently own a beams rep top engine for my AT180
the engine is totally swaped..finally
heres my doubt...i want to turbo my beams...i know its a high compression engine...so it need low compression pistons
but ..does anyone know who can make me some forged pistons? what else should i need besides that? vvti have to be removed?
from what ive read i know there are 2 succesfull turbo-beams..the hks and..a guy i think hes from uk thought and altezza-black top and 3sgte pistons wont fit...=( any ideas?
does anyone have some info about this project?
thanks in advance
paul =)

im only assuming the beams cams are slightly more agressive, have no evidence to prove this, just an assumption, if anyone has the duration and lift figures of any or all gens of the beams engine ill interested to know. Remembering the beams doesnt have adjustable valve lift, just timing.

People disable the vvti in big power engines, and im not talking about average jo blogs, companies like hks and top secret, for reasons i can only assume for reliability, maybe it cant keep up with the revs, or handle the more extreem conditions that come with a higher power/combustion pressure engines etc, as its designed to make driveability and emissions and efficiency better. Again modifiers are less likely to worry about those things. I can only speculate individuals reasonings but i reckon reliability has a big part to play, just chuck on some adj cam gears and dial them in to when you want max power and your done.
