Default is it better to bore over my 1.8t

[sm=feedback.gif]I have a b5 1.8t with a t3/td04 turbo, 660cc injectors, porshe 911 diverter valve , 3" turbo back exhaust .My valve spring got weak cause a complete distruction to my piston . but since i have everything apart i was wondering would it be better for power to bore my cylinders and put in bigger pistons or keep cylinders the same and buy stronger pistons .see im rebuilding the motor complete the head is rebuilt with strong springs ,valves ,same stock cam .Now im sending out my block and i want to know is it even worth it to over size, and will it cause a problem.
