Default piston broken

Due to a high boost without the fueling to match my piston nr. 2 has been dammaged.



I've got a spare set of used pistons.
What should i do.

Replace 1 piston or replace all 4 pistons, and would i need new piston rings??

Thanx

depends how healty the old pistons are. You can usually get away with it, but u have to make sure they are the same compression height - so get them measured.
