7K for the rebuild?
then you will be fine mate. As said, once everythng is forged u are set for some time.
Keep in mind once u boost it more...get more power the drivetrain will be your next issue.

Or you could go the other way with pistons from the VXR. It was non turbo with a 10:1 compression ratio (down from the FTO's 10.5:1) which might be a better option with a small decommpression gasket. You could get it down to 9ish to one with only a few thou in the gasket I spose.
I'll look up the part numbers on CAPS tonight.
turbo engines always have a lower compression ratio. 8.5:1 is very common.
