I'd get a nice set of Wisecos if I were you. Those look like they wont last 10,000 miles of hard driving. When it comes to things like this, i'm a firm believer in the "you get what you pay for" saying

Remember one thing! " you get what you pay for!"

From what I've researched 9.0:1 c/r isn't the best on a turbo car, it can hurt top end power. Besides if those are OEM Non-Turbo pistons, the ringset is too high for a turbo vehicle. You can get the same brand of pistons here:

I am going with 95-99 Turbo Pistons with the 8.5:1 c/r, but I'm not sure about the brand. Parts Dinosaur is pretty cool. I'm sure they could let you know how dependible the "ITM" brand is. Good luck.

Ok... So you only want to spend $100 on your Pistons yet you will throw out $100 for a HG?? I would save up and get the Wiseco's or some Ross's. You say you are only going to run a 14B and 550's right now. I would say that once you see what a 16G or even a 20G can do you will want to upgrade and then start running high boost. I would spend the extra $700 now and get some Forged Piston's and either Eagle or Scat rods. I prefer Scat but I've been using their parts in VW's for years. They build top notch components for the price.
