I think the answer there is no too - the stock wrist pins are pressed into the stock pistons where the forged pistons have floating wristpins. I don't think you can mix & match without expensive custom machine work. I have a few bent rods as we speak so I'm researching this also.

What was the compression ratio of your stock NT? Seems like Taboo on the OTHER Forum recommends staying with stock NT internals & keeping the boost down a little for guys on a budget. I see FEW good things said about forged pistons for a lot of street use - slapping, different expansion rates, etc.

1G Turbos are 7.5 to 1 & 2G's 8.5 to 1 - I THINK.
Obviously a lot of 1g guys have gone to 2g pistons.
