with the money you will have to spend to turbo that motor it would be better to spend some extrta bucks and drop in a k-series motor. will not only have the reliability but more hp than the turbo d17. can always turbo down the road

you may be able to push it up around 225whp with a good tune

They're no thinner than D16 rods, no?

(Crower makes forged D17 rods btw.)

The D17 is just a bad motor to boost stock (compared to a different D series). Its just more work and higher risk, but it can be done. Change the fuel system and get a solid tune and 200whp will be safely acheived.
