Is that for a single turbo? or twin turbo?
Of interest, I just flipped through my Legend documents again, and found this (referencing failure during testing);
"Inspection revealed that the second and third ring lands had failed. This leads to the conclusion that piston failures have been caused by inadequate land strength, not thermal problems"
This is the point the decided to go with forged Venolia pistons and a special top ring with "scuff resistant plasma moly face coating".
The document includes a nice photo of the broken ring.

Want me to take a look at your MS3.msq and see if I can figure out why you're running so rich?

Per turbo
I think we're looking at the same documents. It's a big chunk for sure. I wish they detailed what kinds of conditions those failures were occurring at. Opening the ring gap coupled with accurate tuning would probably have helped preserve the stock pistons. I'm banking on the second anyway.

As you can tell I am asking out of complete ignorance here, so....
With todays 4 cylinder turbo engines pumping out 240 HP and more is it easier to install one of them with it's own transmission. Or does going that route open a whole new can of worms?
