Wiseco HD, but I'd do a 9:1 for all around flexibility.

Would the 9:1 be more ideal using a stock frame turbo with the 2.3?

We haven't released it yet, but we have a piston developed for torture situations like that that weighs only 262 grams a piston. However, they aren't cheap nor are they forged. They're billet with higher compression and proper dish. Also, torture (high hp) situations call for a heavy pin...which unfortunately offsets the gains of a lighter piston. So, we are developing a Ti pin to make sure the pistons are the lightest in any Evo application.

BTW, these are not vaporware

Wiseco HD ( I know I said that one before), and set the piston to wall clearance at 4.5 thou (0.0045") to 5 thou.

Ya, JEs or wiseco hds, anything but the regular wisecos. I had them, and they're prone to cracking (so i've read on the net and experienced).

9:1 is good too, depending on what you want
