I spoke with the guys from Wossner at the Autosport International show in January. I wish I could remember the prices they quoted me for a set of custom 1800 Zetec pistons for a turbocharged application. At the time it was something like £850 for a set of four, or £950 for two sets of four.

Take a look at their site anyway, they're displaying prices of £425 for all Ford pistons at the moment. http://www.forgedpistons.co.uk. Very much worth talking to :) Let me know what they say, as I still have a small interest in going with forged pistons, so would like to know what they say to you.
