There is no way the pistons are the same DI pistons are very similar to diesel pistons. I dont think the LSJ has those pistons because it is port injection not DI. Niether has forged pistons though. Fail for GM !!!!

These are pretty high tech cast pistons-cast is not always the lowest quality. There can be
good strong cast pistons. These had to past GMs dyno test cycling between max power
and max torque for over 100 hours. Take a look at this from a SAE paper on the LNF
motor with specific info on these "cast" pistons. Note the oil circulation thru the piston
that takes 100 deg F out of piston AND the fact that they did this cause they were
expecting MORE power.

Does a twin turbo setup with the stock K04 and this kit seem possible?
****, now forged pistons too. Damn this upgrade is getting expensive. I'll do it though just so the engine holds up well.

Your not going to have to replace the pistons, this motor will take the beating, trust me I have put it through hell, with 0 indications of a single problem

very impressive, and the craftsmenship is without flaw as expected!. I will need to purchase your new 2 piece DP correct? (in other words this wont mate to your catless 3" DP I already have?) Also, will the kit work with other brand charge piping, and will they have to support a BOV? Thanks

Cast pistons are by no means crap... Just because they arn't "OMG FORGED" doesnt mean they are ****.
Now if the were hypereutectic then that would be the cheap way out.
While cast is not as good as a forged piece, they will still take quite a bit of power.
