But those were tuner error!

I've never used the weiscos personally, but from the reasearch I've done... they'll be what I run if the time ever comes.

do a search for wiseco and you will find where i have recommended wiseco's to numerous people and i also stated why i suggest them. i currently run cp pistons, but thats because it was going to take wiseco to long to make the piston in the size and compression ratio that i wanted. i would like to think i was on the front line of the wiseco users in one of my first motors, and i would of really like to use them in this one. but i suggest wiseco, and then cp. and like i said ive ran both.

CP's shelf stock pistons are in several of the fastest Honda B-series engines running T4/SFWD. And custom CP's are in a couple of very fast Toyota 2JZ's and I garantee they have been abused (bent .210" wrist pins, shortened steel con rods) and never broken.

The Mahle piston you buy is not made in the same plant nor to anywhere near the same standards as the Porsche piston. The everyday Mahle, when subjected to laser measuring, is just average.
