Does it work?
What bearings do I use?
Do I need a custom piston?

They work fine, they are the same length. Same bearings.
It is only if you "stroke" the block by using the 2.5 crank (79mm versus 75mm) that you would need different pistons.

Buy some turbo ej25 pistons, and your machine shop will bore your block to fit them. You'll want to have the cylinders sleeved.

I would stay away from stock 2.5 pistons if you are going through the trouble. Wiseco pistons are not very expensive and are fine for most builds.

300 whp isn't going to happen with the 550's.....and that may or may not be the ragged edge of the TD05.
I am at about 90% IDC with the 550's and I'm about 8 hp shy of 300 chp.
