Seems like he's fitted forged pistons without sleeving the block?

I'd say that would be worth a crack!

There are some nice bits gone into that engine...

Simon didn't have his lude sleeved IIRC when it was turbo'd, he just had mahle pistols and that ran for a good while as a daily car.

Possible I guess, still never seen any real evidence of this tho?

Mahle golds are the only piston designed to run in the frm liners, everything else will just wear out the block.

looks like a cheap ebay turbo kit,

and he's cheaped out on the engine management.. I just wouldn't touch it

but if he used the wiseco pistons, I hope he figured out he needs to sleeve the block
