Pistons..

Right .. I will need to buy some pistons for the s3 shortly and wondering what are some good makes? Im going with either Wossner or PEC ones at the moment based on the good reviews ive heard about them, but there must be other makes out there aswell. So anybody have any recomendations?

Engine is obviously a 1.8 20vt and has 20mm gudgen pins..

There is a good chance it may have a bigger turbo at some point in the future and i only want to biuld it once so basicly im buying the best i can afford with the engine internals..

wossner anyday.

id go for these mate highly recommended http://www.intengineering.com/Piston-Rod-Combos/VW-Audi/18T/tc279304-1-2/

these seem to be the best priced

I'd say go with JE worth every penny from what i've heard, however i've just got std S3 pistons in mine and was going to go big turbo. it's the conrods that are the weak link when going big power as i've seen a few pics of blocks with bloody great holes in!!!

You've also got scat, Integrated Eng rods both do 20mm pins

That's what the combo pack is je pistons and ie rods just coverted the currency an works out at £546 witch ain't bad for pistons rods rings bolts etc just Goya try an get them in the country without payin import tax got any mates in the states who can send them as a present

it is bloody cheap to be honest and to good to pass up!!

I've looked on scn and in ther section it says they have uk dealers:

1) Backdraft Motorsports
2) JBS Auto Designs
3) The Phirm
4) Badger 5

They may be higher priced than the states though.

I'll look into the JE pistons then

The conrods should be sorted and ought to be here next week fingers crossed

You could try JNL racing and speak to JP, there something to do with the kermit green mk2 1.8t monster, they'll tell you the best setup to go for in your budget i'd imagine.
