not to put you down, but for 200 bucks more you could do it on a z6 block and make way more reliable power

b16aEGcivic is right. Don't waste your money on turboing the D15B.
I haven't heard of anyone doing it without problems.

i agree, talk to Jafro if you are under the impression that that engine can handle boost with its toothpick rods.

But that is why I am asking about getting Stronger Rods. The reason I am asking is because I already have the engine and a TD04 Turbo.

If you want to.
I don't know of any companies that make rods for the D15B.
Check JE and eagle's websites. Crower too.
