I think that to know what we put into our motor is really important, so let's go to read this topic on Cal-look.com - Drag Racing Board section - Topic: AA Pistons Are Causing NightMares BOOM.

Thank the Lord my new car is running J&Es! I always ran Wisecos in my turbo car – 28psi boost and 50 shot of nitrous. No problems at all. Not that I ever had any with Mahle forged ones anyway.

I have a set of AA's sat on the shelf. I got them about 3 yrs ago.
As I understand thanks to some inside info, these pistons that people are having problems with are not from AA. they are imported into the USA via a company called QSC and then sold on by a third party. This means they have not been through quality control. AA pistons are fine (according to AA). They know about the thread and are monitoring the situation.
It is interesting that Marty staggs says something very true, HP parts will not last if you want 300bhp in a VW from them. They are not designed to do 100k like the original engine.
