Eh I notched mine. I just made a template on my old turbo pistons. Then I had my whole assembly balanced.

exactly what i was going to do..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

Of course I also ceramic coated the tops and teflon coated the skirts before balancing.
