ive decided to actually to a rebuild on my engine before I turbo it, just because it has 113,xxx miles on it and its a little worn out. I called the dealership and they told me they have a rebuild kit, which consists of pistons, rings, and all gaskets and seals but for $869.99 Is that a normal price for that? Anyone else know where to get a kit like that for cheaper? I dont want the miata pistons as I want lower comp pistons for my turbo. Thanks!Eat ****.

IMO, you shouldn't need to go to lower compression pistons if the system is setup properly. With proper management, it's not necessary (that all depends on how much boost you're planning to run, too)-Kevin

ok look if you want to got turbo grab a set of sohc pistons. 8.2:1 compression which is much more "boost accomdating"
As for piston rings... dude just because the say "aftermarket" does not make them betterWhen you turn your car on... does it return the favor?
