Intresting.... Conficts with info I've been told before too.
Also been told of Stock ST170 engines doing 300BHP with a bolt on turbo conversion.... wouldn't think that would be possible with cast pistons

its the truth unfortunately! i asked Mahle themselves. any forged piston has a 'P' in the number, the ST170 pistons have a 'v' iirc.
pa_sjo - cossies are forged, as are some XE's, jonnybravo has also spoken to mahle about that.
