WTB - Turbo Rods and pistons.
Guys I'm looking for a set of good turbo rods and pistons. I would prefer the forged RARST rods, but it isn't a deal breaker.
Thanks.

You can have my set.... though it will be a while until I can get them for you.
Not sure what rods are in my block, but with the way the bores look, I'm sure the pistons are fine.

Just bought a turbo with a probable rod bearing failure, I'll be selling some stuff, but it will be a few weeks most likely.

Yeah - Sid did 25psi, but for a significantly shorter time.
I've been running ~18psi, and after ~8months broke a ring-land...

And thanks for the offers - I believe I have a set of rods/pistons on line. If it falls through, I'll let you know.

Mark - give me a call whenever you get the chance. No rush.

How soon do you need them? I have a full set of 86 951 RARST with pistons (91K miles). I'm leaving town for a week though. PM me for price, I really don't need them as I have another matched set that have been tanked waiting for me to work on the car.
