Wiseco pistons are low silicon, so they will wear a little faster and have a little piston slap on cold days possibly. A 4032 alloy piston would have been better for a dd, but lots of people daily turbocharged cars. If your tune is safe, dont worry. There will always be quirks with a modified car though, little problems just seem a little more common.

i am new to turbo. i just want to make sure that i can use this car for one hour one way commute daily to work and back, or sometime to make a long trip of 700 miles back to New York without damage the engine.
you guys have a lot of experience so i want your opinions.
If there is too much truoble to have a turbo, i will take it off.
