If you are keeping the stock pistons, i would just use stock rings as well. The specs you are looking for can be found in the bently manual. if you search long and hard, its out there on the internet in pdf format. maybe someone else can post a link to it.

Also, you might want to look into a Tial turbo kit. might cost a tad more when all is said and done, but i believe they make ball bearing turbos and sell the inlets and all lines etc. as well. Fitment might be better also. I have heard that the elim turbos aren't really plug and play and they are pretty pricey for what they are. I dont have any more details.
