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.

Will 1.9TD pistons fit into a 1.6NA?

No, 1,9 have 3mm larger bore.
