What's wrong with boosting auto power pistons? Guy I know make 220WHp on his 8v Xflow 2.0 turbo with auto power pistons no issues? Fueling and timing is good it won't break pistons.

Y have you had any personal experiences with it to share?
Autopower is a cheap replacement to OEM spec pistons, they will work perfectly fine in N/A application but add boost you gonna need some forged items just to be safe, AE nural pistons for eg

Dude, I should give you the number of the mechanic who built my old Audi motor. This is no problem for him to sort out. Just gooi the whole block and pistons onto the decking machine and level those pistons flat!

Ja, it happened. :P
