If you are having so many concerns on the compatability of pistons/bores why not just run some machined 968 pistons ? Hartech charged me about £300 for the work and as long as you keep sensible boost levels they will be fine. I would estimate i have around 330-350 bhp from the first engine we built and all running well.

Sure , when barry was aiming for 500bhp + running nicosil liners, but if this is only for a road car as long as boost is kept around bar , the 968 pistons should be fine.
It just depends what you are aiming for.

He also used 968 rods didn't he ? I'd rather build an engine for 500bhp, run 400 and have plenty in reserve. I could run 340bhp on a 2.5.
