Hey Goran,
All the hi-po forged applications I have heard of in the US were special
order. That goes for JE, Arias, Ross, etc.
I am using lower comp. pistons (8.25:1) in my SPG 2.0L, and this does allow
sustained levels of high boost with no wear/durability issues. The tradeoff is
slightly slower throttle response due to a little more lag. But you can get it back
by opening up the exhaust, tweaking the timing, etc.
With T5 cars, I think that the control system is much better and you don't have to
run low compression to handle sustained high boost. My new motor for the T5
system in my SPG will have CR back to 8.75:1 (or close to that).
