Just a quicky, whats the difference in the proper omega 73.5 rings and the minispares Mega rings, as theres a bit of a price difference, ive used the mega ring pack in my other NA 1380 on Omega pistons, but just wondered if anyones had any probs on turbo motors before i order the cheap ones again!

Think the omegas about £100 aren't they from MED etc?

Yeh i konw the omegas are more expensive, but is there any disadvantage of using the minspares mega rings, as seems silly to spend extra £40 if theres no difference?

To be honest I don't know whether there are any differences between them, I guess the best way would be to measure the ring thickesses and widths etc.

I personally would rather spend the extra 40 quid on something that you know is right, rather then gambling on something so critical to the life of the engine

Just my thoughts, I stand to be corrected.

Edit: reading it again, if you've done it once and it worked, then assuming everything measures up then why not.
