First off i have searched, here is a very informative thread about the topic

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=202973&highlight=2g+pistons

BUT i also am comming to road where pistons might need to be replaced and i'm not 100% sure on what to do. I understand how both 1g and 2g pistons differ and what would change in my car, the thing is i would like to see numbers and mabye personal experiences.

Could we find 2 ppl running same turbo but different pistons and see what there spool, boost, and WHP is.

Mabye a 1g on a 14b and a 2g on a 14b would be good since a 14b is a common upgrade for 2g's.

I hope you guys understnad what i'm trying to get across, I WILL search for more and go through some dyno records so find a decent comparison, but by posting this thread i hope it helps and makes things go quicker.

Thanks
 
Well here is a start for you. Good stock 1G motor with the 7.8:1 compression 1G pistions, 160 to 170 compression numbers for all cylinders. Small 16g turbo, 17 to 19 psi by 3500 RPM, 12.8 in the 1/4.
 
Back on my bone stock 2g motor, I had 185 compression across the board with 8.5:1 2g pistons. I had an evo 16g that would spike about 18psi by 3000-3200. I never brought that one to the track, so I have no other comparable numbers.

With my current motor w/9:1 compression I brought spoolup down under 3k with the mods in my profile.
