Now that you guys are up to speed, I am at a stand point now. I have no idea which direction to go with a rebuild kit. High compression would be nice, but when it comes time for boost Im stuck. Low compression would be good for future boosting, but the car will be a dog until then.

So I found this:

The price is right and its stock compression so maybe just what I am looking for?

Thanks in advance.

 

If your intention is to boost, you may as well put in the compression combo you want now. No sense in rebuilding the motor a second time if you can do it all correctly now.

Not sure what the difference is in compression height (if any) between PM6 pistons and PM3 pistons but from your pictures, it appears you are rebuilding a standard D15B(X) motor. You may want to check into that before you buy that set on EBAY. Check the FAQ there's lots of good info and links.

Also, as stated in the other thread you linked, have your block inspected to make sure you don't have to overbore. It's a waste of time to buy pistons that you'll end up not using.

PS I'm in SD also if you need any help but it looks like you have things under control.

 

I recently purchased a bare D16A6 block which is why I am looking at that rebuild kit. I also pmed you.

Also, good call on the A6. I'm actually going to be rebuilding an A6 myself in the next few weeks but with some slight mods.
