So, it seems that the engine case is a MC2. But does that matter? I am
not using the MC management system anyways. It currently has the WR
system, but I'm thinking of going to the 034 setup later on.
So, it looks like I should replace these pistons. I have seen in TFA
that there are different pistons for MC1 and MC2. The (Swedish) Haynes
manual says that the compression was raised from 7.8:1 to 8.4:1 with the
introduction of the MC2. So, since I probably am going to run higher
than stock turbo pressure, should I use the MC1 pistons? Or maybe a
different 2226 piston? My logics says that I should run the MC1 pistons.
You guys need to educate me a bit here, this is my first turbo
experience ever, and perhaps not the easiest one either :-)
