Wondering if the stock sleeves can handle alot of power and boost or if its recommended to replace them with something better?

No sleeves. The Beta is an iron block, just like the 4G63.

Well, we sort of do. There's a liner inside the cast iron block to make the cylinders. But it's not like a Honda block with very little support for the cylinders.
