I'd hit up ebay for forged pistons - lots of guys I know have
picked up JE's for the same or a little more than what Toyota
wants.

I have an 87T. 57 trim, no clip CT26, 550, lex, hks bov, cooleeze pipes, stock i/c,  3" defcon dp, 3" hks turbo exhaust, no cat, profec B boost controller.  I am planning on using arp studs with a cometic head gasket.
