Are you staying with the stock K04? If so, you'll be fine with stock rods.
You kind of left out the important stuff: goals, rebuilding for longevity/big turbo, etc.
What are you trying to accomplish?

Car is a dd and I would like the best of both worlds probably will go with a larger turbo later might max out the ko4 first I ported the exhaust mani and turbo inlet outlet probably will end up with the zzp cam and e85 then go big turbo looking at 20g

Youre probably fine with the stock rods but its one of those why not things. While you are building it you may as well go ahead and upgrade them. It will be much easier now than later

Go with the stock rods. Max-out the stock turbo. You'll have a fun (hopefully reliable) DD.
