You are limited with your choices because of the Alusil bores, pistons have to be compatable with Alusil.

Jusk like pk951 said, you have very limited choices when it comes to aftermarket pistons for the 928.

What happened to you engine that it needs new pistons?

Have you tried posting this on the 928 forum? There are a lot of guys with a lot of parts that might be able to help you out.

If the bores are scraped a little, and your pistons are still fine you can repaste the bores at a machine shop with the felt pads that they use to bring the bores back to new. Tom C Charls sells piston for 944-turbos. He may be a source for you. http://www.klaindustries.net/
