Hard to tell from the pics, from the outside, looks like the same casting, but from the inside, almost looks like more meat on the turbo, could just be the color contrast though.

In the first pic you can see the skirt area where the wrist pin is, is not machines down on the turbo piston.
MOAR meet!

That's weird. The skirt on the turbo piston in post 3 of this thread does not look like that... It looks more like the NA piston in your pictures. What brand is your IDIT piston?
