Default zvh turbo pistons

ive just bought a zvh n/a engine that im going to change to a turbo unit, i want it to safely run around 18psi so the question is what piston/ rod combo is best

1. standard rods and pistons
2. standard rods skimmed pistons (by how much i dont know think its around 40thou
3. standard rods xe pistons
4. standard rods burtons or simmilar pistons
5. upgraded rods and pistons


dont want to spend mega bucks but dont want it going pop the first time i drive it hard either,

ive got a good stage 2 head with newman cam etc and its running an emerald efi setup so fuelling the boost wont be an issue,


also currently running a 1.9 bottom end at 14psi (200bhp) that will be up for grabs if anyones interested
