    I know nothing about these pistons. Are these supposed to be better for your turbo? Or approved for turbos? (I'm assuming pretty much anything besides stock is better, right?)

    I have looked on the JE website and can only find
    pistons for 4g63 engine not the 4g64 engine

    isnt 4g63 2.0
    4g64 2.3
    So did they send you the right pistons and rods
    Confussed bit style :? :? :? :?

    they ar e custom made(that is why they are not listed on their web, low compresion (8.5 = good for turbo), forged pistons. For those who don't know, our cars have 9.5 compression, so pistons generally they are not good for turbo (not so great) . One of my piston melted (due to running too hot spark plugs) , that is why i went with JE low compression ones,....
