This has been discussed lots of times buddy, in short your choices are forged big dish pistons which are strong but expensive, or cast pistons machined out, which are cheaper and seem to do the job.

However use the "search" function and read up old topics for much much more info.

So is it to reduce compression with deep dish pistons or head work? or is a combination o the 2 best?

minispares mega pistons, Omega, Acralite to name a few


doodles the dish in the pistons is the best option if you can drop on the desired CR





*****TD edit*****
Please see this topic for up-to-date info on the suitability of the minispares 'mega' range of pistons for turbo use:

i agree with Steve on this if you can get ure CR to as close as posible to where u need it, you can fine tune the difference on the chambers of ure head. Also agree (as usual) with Tom, i believe this topic has been mega covered so you should find your answers to ure questions no problem bud.
