Ebay pistons - not forged - experience?
Hy guys, I wanna boost my ZC engine... but for the beginning, I wanna start with a really small turbo from an Italian 1,3T car. I found these low compression pistons with rings, anyone bought/used them? Are they worth 'bout $120 ?

---- that, I never heard of these, Why not spend the 120 on Vitara pistons since people already have experience with them and they do hold 300HP.
These things look good, but maybe thats all they do, performance wise, well I dont know man, Wouldnt risk it IMHO, just get the Vitara pistons.

If I'm going to buy new pistons and rip my motor apart, I'm not about to put anything but forged pistons in it unless I'm just looking to rebuild it and sell it.

I bet those pistons are exactly the same as the vitaras on HT because the ones off HT are aftermarket replacement vitara pistons. They looks and sound familiar, even the box looks familiar.
