Put in a metal headgasket while you're in there. The difference in the pisons are the compression ratio. GE 9.1 ? GTE 8.4. You can boost more on the turbo pistons(safely). Also one of the cams is different, but interchangable. Lots of stuff I'm missing, I'm just trying to remember... I'd know more if this was the path I was going..

I think suprragirl mentioned something about a car she had with N/A pistons and a turbo that seemed to run pretty well. I think she mentioned a slightly lower boost though. But it did work.

ya im sure it will still. look at hondas and stuff, all they do is just throw on a manifold and they got boost. they might upgrade internals but its basicly the same idea
