Re: ring gap (Kris's turbo)

Without further information, I would fit the top ring gap to .021"

Re: ring gap (Kris's turbo)

I ran mine at .019 for top ring and .021 for second ring.

That is a decent starting point. Call the piston manufacturer you are looking to use and ask what they reccommend. Or PM Earl.
