• Will 1.6 turbo pistons work in a NA engine?  The only difference I know of is that the turbo pistons have notches for oil cooling but as far as wrist pin height, crown, compression ratio, etc. I think they are the same as the regular 1.6 NA pistons.

• They should as far as I know.  If you are planning on adding a turbo it could not hurt.  They are suppossed to have a hard anodized surface.

• No, 1,9 have 3mm larger bore.
