When i broke a std piston in my 2 litre running 20 psi lol, i upgraded to wossner forged pistons, the bores were lovely and i believe (this is my opinion) that engines are best left standard sizes, removing metal off of heads, bores, cranks etc is just making them sub-standard and is unnesesary when there is soo many really good examples out there. the whole 2.1 thing is unnesasary on a turbocharged engine, given the choice of boring out or and extra 2 psi boost i would rather the boost. all down to opinion, but dont fuck up a perfectly good engine mate, thats all im saying
