IMO they are NOT a high power choice as aside from the Hyperpeutic pistons they have a specific casting / machining "flaw" that renders one of the cylinder liners in particular to be prone to split in higher boost scenarios.........


** just to add I am fairly sure the original factory fitted blocks had a slightly differing design and weren't as prone to this!! **
