Then again there is a big group on miataturbo that have Supertech.
The ST have a much nicer valve pocket compared to the open wide Wisecos...Comment

i like individual valve pockets.... but in terms of piston manufacture. im not sure how much id trust "supertech" pistons
either way. unless you have a net result of 9.5:1 or higher its not really much fun IMHO. off boost MPG skyrockets over the lesser. if its your daily driver go for higher compression

Yah maybe. OTOH lower compression means higher boost on pump gas. My street car's a dog at low rev. Stock GTR CR is what, 8.5:1 or something, but who cares, cuz give it some rev and it's able to hold 22psi to redline on 92 octane. I'll take that trade. IF you can make that much boost at 9.6:1 on pump gas and not blow up, then by all means go for it, but I dunno if it'll last long.'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
'90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

Well, when Super Tech pistons are sold on group buys on a miataturbo forum, I think its for a reason, else the seller would get burned on a heartbeat.
I thought the same of going with Wiseco, JE or whatever flashy brands, but when I saw everybody at the forums went with them decided to give it a shot.
Who knows? But the owner of the machine shop told me to feel confident as they look of very high quality, that do not be shy on boosting ( of course as long as it is tuned).Comment
