std comp mahle's would do the trick. I believe 4x4 pistons won't hurt..
allthough make sure there's no difference in the resulting compression, since the cilinderhead of a 2wd differs from a 4wd

4wd pistons are perfect, has offset gudgeon pins for no piston slap and with a 2wd head drops compression slightly for running above standard boost. Exactly what I used in mine, I saved money by buying them from a show, but would recommend genuine Mahle pistons.
