I'm more worried about spinning the bearings than snapping a rod. [shrugs]

I definitely won't bore the block, but to hone it and possibly run 96 mm pistons. That's it. Are the pins treated or coated in any fashion?

OK, I probably don't see the need for GTX turbos then. I wouldn't mind getting new/updated internals before re-installing, though.

Boring and honing is the same.. I would get 95.5 pistons and hone it a little bit for .045 Piston to wall clearance

As for pins.. yes Wiseco already offer upgraded pins for turbo cars, if I remember correctly it was $10 for upgrade per piece.. here the link. Automotive Accessories For Drag Racing, Sport Compacts & More. - Wiseco Piston Inc.
as you can see. there are different kind of pins..
