I love the 2056 combo. But your end plans may require some changes to your current plan.
KB 96 pistons are normaly not forged. You will need a forged piston if you are going to go to a turbo setup.
Also you might want to stay with a 94mm slug and jug set with forged oistons to run it boosted. The added cylinder wall thickness will help to keep the power sealed inside.
The square port heads will limmit your exhaust options. Most performance exhaust for type 4's are built for oval ports.
You need to match your cam lifter combo and cut pushrods to proper length after checking the valve geometry.
You have already answered you own rod question.
Think everything thru and try not to buy too many things twice while going from a nice N/A setup to a bosted/EFI set up.
