I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it again, tune is key, if you have a bad tune it'll destroy forged pistons or stock pistons. The crank/rods/pistons are fairly strong with a good tune, especially the lq9/l33/ls2 RODS. Quite a few have gone over 800rwhp for a decent amount of time on them.

There are a lot of options for PCV on a turbo car.  Vacuum pump, vent to atmosphere, exhaust scavenge, pre turbo scavenge, etc.
