hi I have been told that if I am going to turbo an ;A; series engine that I will have to use forged pistons other wise I will just blow the tops of them. that is the standard pistons there must be people out there who can point me in the right direction I only work on other peoples experiences as I am not on an unlimited budget so every saving helps thank you people

std pistons are up to the job. quite a few member have achieved very reliable boosted A-series with moderate to extreme power.

Im looking at building a a12 turbo. I already have one atm but from what I have read is that the a12 is stronger and can handle higher boost than a a14/15. I dont know if its true but mine hasn't blown up. Also a12's are cheap and usually u dont have to change compression
