I'm using wossner's, HAndy and JP do too but I've heard a few people just the standard piston machined down to lower the comp ratio.

I very much doubt anyone hiding much on here, not sure what the norm is but if you look in the projects section I think there are a few f7 builds going on.

Re: What pistons and rods for turbo
Don't forget if you use f4r rods you will need to use f4r bearing's or f9q bearing's:agree:
I did post a pic sometime back of the comparison of F7p, F4r and K-tec H rods for F7p/r next to each other but I can't find pic's:crap:

Can someone give more info what this means?
I'm asking since all forged conrods are sold as F4R/F7R/F7P compatible. What bearing to use then?
