Default Mahle pistons

Anybody running mahle pistons for forced induction?Are you happy with them?They seem to be a little cheaper than diamond,and sometimes you get what you pay for.Just wondering if they would be o.k. for moderate to high boost.

For bigger boost I would highly recommend the stronger 2618 forging such as Diamonds. The 4032 of the Mahle's is not ideal for "moderate to high boost." We offer Diamond's full line-up and can offer any help you might need in selecting a piston setup that will work best for you. PM, e-mail, or call if we be of any assistance!

I have the Mahle L92 pistons in my current turbo engine, they are a nice set for the money.
I have built a couple of engines with these, including 1 that saw regular doses of 200 hp of N2O.
