Default 5.3 iron lm7 going turbo. What kind of forged internals should I buy

Hello I'm new to this form and the ls world. I currently have a 99 ho 5.3 lm7 iron block. I was planning on putting a lsa supercharger on it but desided to go turbo instead. I haven't bought anything for the motor yet. This is going on a street car weekend cruiser but I would like to get at least 600+whp.
What kind of internals do I need to get to that mark and turbos. I plan on buying the Holley intake and larger tb. I read a lot of guys using stock internals but I don't want to go that route.

I'm new to this to, I don't know how helpful my spec will be as is going in a light mid engine car.I have gone for the 4.8 crank,mainly because I wanted to up the rpm of the motor and use flat top pistons. Motor not running yet so no idea of power but hoping for a lot more than 600hp,

std 4.8 crank
Eagle 6.3'' rods + L13 bolts
Wiseco pistons
Total Seal stainless ring set
Johnson short travel Lifters
Comp cam
Trick Flow 215 CNC heads
ARP Head Studs
Comp roller rockers
Cloyes billet hex adjust
Edelbrock Pro Flow xt with 16 injector conversion
90mm TB
Twin Froge 50mm recirculating valves
Twin 1200hp chargecoolers
Twin Holset Hybrid twin scroll HX35s
Aquamist water Meth (not 100% on this, yet to purchase)

I wouldn't touch the bottom end for 600rwhp, especially on a 5.3.
