well yeah but there are loads of off the shelf types available, if you don't change the pistions then your still going to get the same comp ratio with the standard pistons.....good price on the engine tho

has this got to be 10 for the group buy to go ahead?

Oh, and does anyone know of any decent companies that would be able to ship one to Germany without it costing me an arm and a leg?

Default Try here too for a group buy quote

You could also make enquires here ask for Brett RenickMotorSports.com I bought one last January from him. Although, it was $1495 in Jan 07 I had it delivered with all gaskets inc taxes for £1150. The dollar is weaker now so I would expect you can still get close to that figure. They delivered mine within the week & Alan Jeffreys in Plymouth did a fine job building / fitting / mapping it. On standard Sti heads & standard turbo it kicked out 332bhp & 370 torque @ slightly under 6k revs. Highly recommended!

Just to add from somebody who imported approximately 25 of these 3 years ago that £1150 is a good price for such small numbers
