Where can one find pistons for the 968 block that doesn't need steel sleves?
The block is Nikasil isn't it?

Or to put it straight... is there any aftermarket pistons out there that reduces compression to a more boost-friendly ratio without the need to work on the block cylinder walls?

Thanks

I saw an ad from Andial in the new Excellence advertising 3.0L turbo pistons. You may try giving them a call. Tim @ Speedforceracing.com may be able to put on track also....

I can get you genuine iron-coated Mahle pistons in 104mm size to work with stock Alusil bore in a 968 engine. Compression is about 8.3:1 so you can run 25psi of boost with 100-octane race-gas. About 20psi on street gas. Send me an email if you want to discuss.

Thanks a lot for the information!
I'm not currently looking to buy, but it's good to know where it can be found when/if the day comes.

BTW Danno, is that the compression number when using the 16 valve head?
