99% of the time, if it is a cheaper route... its not the better route. just remember that. When a piece of piston lets go and take out the turbo and the cyl head you put all the money into.

I wasn't going to use OEM ones. I was just told that the cylinders are the exact same bore and stroke as the EJ22, just 2 extra cylinders added. I had a set of 6 wiesco pistons set up but If they aren't going to be any good then im glad i know now. Does the same go for the rods and bearings?

I am not one for cheaping out on builds, I was just wrongfully informed. Thanks again for the heads up!
