I'd contact the company I'm interested in and see if they make custom bore pistons. A lot of companies do.

why dont you stroke it so you can safely run a lot of boost rather than run on the edge of blowing it up?? use a gsr crank and a deckplate.

you could also go with the 1.7 crank and around 84mm piston should be littler larger than a GSR

If you bore it out too big, if you have to rebuild and one of the piston walls is scratched, you will have to start all over again with a new block becuse you will have no more room to bore out your present block.
