Who makes The best turbo pistons for everyday riding?
Lost a cylinder on the dyno because an air box nut fell in. I know should have secured the nut. Time for a rebuild now because of a dumb mistake. Going stage 1+ Muzzy and new pistons. Advice please. It is easier to learn from someones other goof than making them all on your own.

I believe dubious liked the mtc. They are cheapest, and they seem super stout.

Muzzy makes corrections in a heart beat. They had a vendor that cross grained their rods in the machining process. It was a mess. Willy is running a stage 2 Velocity on his street bike at 280 HP. Everyone makes mistakes at some time. MTC doesn't meet ISO standards as far as I know.

Millennium recommends JE, didn't ask them about MTC. Good price too, $735.00 for a set. Needless to say the airbox nut will be modified. With Stage 1 plus included, the total repair around $2800.00 and 17# boost for everyday riding. Damn, love the ZX-14, but you need to know the girl before you go to third base.
