accralite are shit mate (in rs turbos anyway, loads of tuners/engine rebuilders told me when i brought my pistons), those Cosworth ones what DazC said about are meant to be good, or try the ones i got if u can afford it,

Ask alan, he will recommend Cosworth ones from Burton, but they are around 500 quid aswell!. Get sum good ones so u dont blow it again!!!.
