Forged omegas, cast omegas, accrilites are the main ones.

What do you want to do with the engine, target power, compression ratio the list is endless some more information is required.

Mitsi Evo 7, 911, Cossie. & all the chavs ...... won no problem

if your budget can stand it, used forged omegas as accralites are NLA only if someone comissions say a dozen sets.

cast omegas are tried and tested in forced induction and take the punishment metered out to them if the fueling and timing advance is set correctley to avoid fueling lean out or detonation........ there isnt a piston on this planet can stand the above.

hope this helps *smiley*

Good point, std turbo pistons are up to whatever people have thrown at them providing fueling and ignition are spot on, but then this sould be the case regardless of piston choise.
