The pistons used in Subarus are all selective fit. There are 3 different sizes, they varie by 0.0005". This is no problem, it is to ensure a much better fit than the US engines uses. The sizes of the cylinders is stamped od the top of the engine block, along with the sizes of the crankshaft bearings. that are also selective fit.

So when you are getting the EJ 2.2 turbo pistons, you order the A,B or C size, to suit the, A,B, or C bore size that your particular engine has. Not a problem.
