Default Supertech Pistons anyone?

Ive been looking into using a set for a stock sleeve turbo setup Im putting together. Ive searched and the majority of the info I find is regarding people running them in NA setups. Has anyone run these in a turbo application, either in there personal car or a customers car?

I have a set in my motor, about 600whp. No problems with them at all. For the price, they are hard to beat.

i almost bought some but scored a better deal with the brand i had been using previously. Supertechs come coated with phosphate, i believe it kinda works like teflon, making it glide better.

I think they are good for the price. In fact, I would recommend them for a NA setup. Check out this video of Dave's aka DNR PERFORMANCE K24/K20 CRX running Supertech Pistons.

super good pistons...like one fellow said they are made by mahle.

did a car that ran 10.0-10.1@145+mph daily driven and track setup with a 9:1 mahle/ST. Pistons never melted/cracked/etc.....Never showed signs of breakage at all. 2yr no problem(500-650+whp)...1yr between we pulled them out to check. Was like new when we had them out. Lasted another 1yr of 650+whp until a valve dropped. When this happened only the top of piston was chewed up by valve...pins, side of pistons, and edges was MINT...piston was still swinging like butter(PIN never failed).

These pistons are top notch with an awesome price!!!
