Can't go wrong with arp, even with a stock rebuild.. Cost is cheaper!
All pro's for ARP..
Only con is OEM bolts are "TQ to yield", they can only be used once!!
Later!

Arp = stronger
Arp = reuseable
Arp = cheap ( around 120 shipped )
only downfall is the time you have to wait for them. about 2 weeks
oem = only good for close to stock hp
oem = NOT reusable, if you try and fail, you'll have to fish them out of the block. did it before
oem = about the same price as arp
i use arp for my d15y7 turbo and d15y7 mini me swap.
