hello from Brazil!



I love this idea, from top of my mind we got some real good pistons for a
N/A setup. 12,5:1 compression ratio from Volkswagen originally for both 2.0
and 1.8 engines. Those are not worth buying used, so I will have to check
the price on these brand new but it should be cheap for you guys. It's the
ones I use on my Gol, which should be pushing around 150hp w/ the 8v
non-crossflow head.

What are you guys most interested in ? I will check prices for you!

Sincerely,

Ricardo.
