• No.
  1.7 piston, yes.  However wall thickness will become a very real concern.  
  Do a search for 1.7 . There is a long discussion on this conversion, pro's con's etc...
  It would be nice though.

• I've ordered one Mahle 1.8TD piston. To see If I can make that one work in my new 1.9 future engine.
  
  I've been searching for a lot of pistons for my actual engine. It's also a Mahle piston. For the KY 1700d engine. Only designed the same as the 1.6TD pistons. With a thicker head and opening for the oil squirter.
  
  Now I got a 1.7D. For now. I'm now bussy with a VGT exhaust manifold. So I can place the KKK VGT turbo (3.0TDI A6 2007)
