Engine prep for turbo build

[rerb]

Hi, I'm planning on turbocharging my 99 b12 to around 180 hp. I'll be using gen 1 Hayabusa pistons in a blow through setup with a Td04 off a wrx, and I'd be using stock ignition.  

I'll be splitting the cases to replace a few gears, and was curious if it was necessary to replace the crankshaft shells since the motor is approaching 70k miles. I'm also unsure if I should install APE studs, or if I wouldn't be making enough power to need that; I find conflicting info on here. I'm already installing an APE cam chain and tensioner. 

Thanks for any input, and my apologies if this has been asked too many times, I spent a good 4 hours in bed reading the forced induction and member builds forums instead of sleeping but I can't remember finding what I was looking for. 

Thanks

I like to think my family still loves me enough to schedule an intervention if it gets too out of hand, god knows I'll probably need it.

I'll be splitting the cases to replace a few gears, and was curious if it was necessary NOT NECESSARY BUT MAYBE NEEDED ! to replace the crankshaft shells since the motor is approaching 70k miles. I'm also unsure if I should install APE studs, NOT NEEDED @ THAT POWER or if I wouldn't be making enough power to need that; I find conflicting info on here. I'm already installing an APE cam chain and tensioner.
