Yeah, i am going up to a greddy turbo and my car has alot of miles and i dont want old pistons in my car becuase of the bigh reving and the amount of work the pistons do i dont want to blow a piston or a piston ring beucase there goes my engine i would rather start fresh with the turbo not worrying about blwing anything

First off....use some punctuation.

Secondly, how do you know that your stock pistons and rings aren't still good. For a stock Greddy 16G turbo....you don't need to upgrade anything internally. Do a compression and leakdown test to your car, post the results and then decide if you still need to replace the pistons/rings.

Third and final thing....do you have any idea what replacing the pistons and rings in your car entails and how much work that involves???
