I was just wondering what pistons you guys and girls are using in your engines as I've managed to lose my omegas and need to replace them. I will be running a charger and possibly convert to turbo down the line. |

Cast Omegas seem to do well. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Currently running the cast Omegas, they've survived some abuse over the last few years. |

In company form accralite subsumed into omega: are their forged piston products still different? Preferences? |
