Thanks, I ve seen it, but he only has the normally asperated pistons, and not the turbos.

I need the turbo pistons that were made by Mahle and distributed by Andial, to convert the 3l motor to turbo.

Steven, what about getting with the vendor in OK, get the specs, and get a set made. It will only be a couple hundred more than the standard set; CAD time for the drawing for the first set.

Sorry guys, the 104.00mm and the 104.50mm are for the S2 and the 968 16v models.

Also have the 100.00mm and 100.50mm for the NA (all years high compression NOT for turbo)

Sorry

As I understand it, the Andial pistons are designed to lower the CR to 8.0:1 and to go with an 8V head. That being said.....

When I got mine at Andial earlier this year, they said they have plenty of the one-over pistons left. You may want to try them.

I have tried Andial Today and a month ago, and they only have 2 left . They don't expect any, in the near future.

Ski. I know I can get them from the OK vendor, but it would take at least 6 weeks, and I need to get her running within the next two weeks..

I will take a look at Lindsey.Thanks

jay: Yes, those are 8:1 CR pistons, same goes for Lindsey's Mahle 104mm and 104.50mm 8:1 pistons.

Unlike the ones i have, which are for stock 16v cars.
