Default stock ls1 turbo build up?

Im putting a ls1 in a rx7 as many have done before me. Im not new to the turbo world but Iv never turbo charged a ls1. I plane to lower comp. and beef up a few parts , hptuners, and 3bar map sensor. Is there any thing Im missing. Parts that need to be changed for boosted ls1?

Thanks

If not new to the turbo world, then the usual stuff like head studs, forged pistons if you are gonna push it, and beefy valve springs.

I'm in the process of turboing my stock motor, I plan on going with some 317 heads to lower compression. What springs would you reccomend? I have an extra LS1 and a 6.0L iron block and I plan on down the road using one of them and running stock crank+ H beam rods+ forged pistons (noting to irradic). From what research I have done I gather that IMO I would want to use the Patriot gold dual springs. Am I right, is there anything better?

Check out our engine build that keeps the cost down by reusing the stock crankshaft.
We used the above build in this Corvette that has been at 740 rwhp for several years, and it is run on a roadcourse.
