Default New build lq4 turbo got some questions anything helps

Hey there everybody I'm looking to drop an lq4 turbo in my foxbody I know it is frowned upon but I'm putting a 7675 precision turbo in and I was just wondering what all you would suggest doing to the lq4 and what parts I should look into purchasing I'm looking to get around 500-650 but also still be a street able car I would appreciate any suggestions from you guys and thanks for the help in advance

At that power level you don't need to do much. If it were me I would install ARP head studs, LS9 head gaskets, and gap the rings for boost.

Would I need to change the connecting Rods or pistons or would the stock be fine?

What year is the motor? 2004.5 and up have gen iv rods and full floating wrist pins and they hold up to boost better than earlier rods
