    I went with JE pistons coated crowns and skirts...but mine is a turbo setup...

    I know arias piston drop your compression by .3 = 8.2 to 1, compared to other pistons like mahle, CP, cosworth...I think they stay around stock @ 8.5 to 1 same as JE...

    Would this be the NA motor with a turbo on it ? I don't think that's technically NA anymore.

    well in that cause...Arias would give u the lower compression...but they are loud and annoying during cold starts...unless u get some custom ones from cosworth
