Default K20a3 Low Compression Pistons

Does anyone know where I can buy some pistons to lower the compression of my turbocharged (Greddy turbo kit) a3? Also, would the pistons from an K20a or a2 fit?

Thanks in advance

yes the k20a-a2 pistons will fit but they will not lower you compression they will raise it. As for pistons go to endyn.com or wiseco.com pretty much the same thing but the old one has much knowledge to share

exactly. dont put a/a2 pistons on it. it will raise your compression. a3 stock is like 9:5:1. it's not that bad.

Not bad at all considering all the SC and turbo kits I've seen are targeted to the 11:1 type-s
