wow, certainly opened up a can of worms with this thread!! lol

im reluctant to buy forged items, as im coming to the end of the build, and my remaining funds are for gearbox and other random parts.

if however i could find a cheap but yet perfectly useable and sound forged pistons, then maybe it would be an option

if not, and the apparent skimming of my cast pistons is going to cause major grief, then i will have to maybe consider keeping them standard compression and running less boost, keeping it around a bar maybe

advice is appreciated, but please bear in mind that help finding said budget forged pistons is even more appreciated
