Hi. What are people's thoughts on using omega die cast Pistons with 10cc dish for a turbo'ed engine. Will be either +0.020 or +0.040. Depends if my block will be ok for +0.020.

the omegas are a good solid piston, you'll have no issues with them.

I've been running them for years with a minimum of 15psi of boost and 20+psi at times.

2 years in the car, stripped it last monday and they are still very nice, id recommend them.
