2.0 turbo build question

This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons? just anything that is generally "engine" specific.

Good point, but like you said they are hard to find and would be costly to buy new (im thinking super low-budget here). Regular SOHC pistons are a dime a dozen.

I hope no one here gets the impression that you can make huge power with a stock block using only an FMU for tuning. When you're pushing the stock parts to their limit, you need to have full control of fuel and spark via a stand-alone or piggy backed ECU. That being said, you can build a relatively strong engine with stock parts dirt cheap, so if it blows you really don't have much to loose. The most expensive part of the build would probably be the ARP rod bolts.
