www.roadracemotorsports.com give them a try. should have everything you need. and 5 psi is just about normal on our little lancers.

What kind of turbo kit is in the car first off? Second, yes I would reccomend JE (RRM) Pistons, and if you have the money, go ahead and get Pauter rods from RRM too. That way your engine will be pretty much bullet proof. Now if you plan on getting crazy with the boost, like above 12 pounds, I'd reccomend a decompression head gasket from RPW. Just some things to think about.
