Well being I see you will be running a T25 I say to not get any forged pistons or rods. I say to invest in tuning tools and maybe a cam upgrade because the T25 will run out of steam before you max out what your car can handle. I say you take how ever much of that that needs to be used and let Evans Tuning in PA tune your car after it is boosted. Should be around $500 to $600

I have a JDM D15b boosted on a 14b. I'm upgrading to the 16g evo 3 turbo which does something like 11-14.5psi on the stock internal wastegate and i've read they can put out up to something like 30-35psi. I'm going to run eagle h-beams, 75mm vitaras, valvesprings+retainers, and a crower stage 2 turbo cam. ARP studs. How much boost do you think that could handle? Do you think 15-20psi would be ok with those internals and a great tune, or a little more/less?

A evo 3 16g is ok, it should be ok for you but I would not be running that turbo over around 24 to 26psi as that is it's eff. range. With what you have listed you should do fine provided you tune the correct way.
