Forged pistons in the 113, gotta remember this is a very old engine and not only is it built like a brick sh1thouse but its battle hardened it can handle the boost pressures no problem whatsoever i can assure you in fact i will have to check but i have a funny feeling the pistons are the same PN for the whole series.

For the gearbox you can have the parts you want custom made if your really serious.

Cool that's what I wanted to know. See if you can check on the PN for the pistons to see if they are the same. I would think they have to be different just because of the compression difference between the SLK55 and the SL55. The SLK55 with high compression versions and the SL55 with low compression version.
