need some in good used or new condition and not that Chinese crap from PROTHE
Metaleve (Mahle) are made in Brazil I think. They're pretty good. I think Jack at vwdieselparts uses them in all his rebuilds. They're cheaper than the Kolbenschmidts or the Goetze, and I think they hold up just as well.
You should be able to find a set for about $200-250. By comparison, the KS brand made in Germany will run you about $350-400.
Just a thought in case you can't find some used.
websites?
Not sure. Autohaus AZ carries parts from WorldPac and IMC, but for some reason, Autohaus does not show the Metal Leve pistons, but I know for a fact that IMC lists them, but it looks like they may not have any at thier eastern US warehouses.
You could try Frank at Franks TDIs in MO, or Mike W here on GTD.
Or, search the internet.
that place is in Ohio? I am trying to find prices on turbo pistons for dad.
