i beg to differ actually... you would be rather suprised at how little boost ppl manage to break forged pistons, hell even without boost!!
what kill spistons is poor tuning and detonation. you may also be surprised to hear the a boosted motor is actually 'softer' on pistons than an NA motor, even tho it has higher forces involved.
it all depends on how you build it, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, how it is tuned... ppl have known for years that this is so... go and read "Smokey Yunicks Power Secrets". yes it is about old heavy V8's, but heavy V8's that pull 8000rpm all day pushing 6-700hp 
he has a few things to say about ppl whinging about breaking ring lands 'cos the pistons are not strong enough' 
i think if you took the forged, ceramic coated GZE piston and an aftermarket forged piston and got it ceramic coated, AND you built and tuned the motor correctly for the combustion pressures you are expecting, that you will break other things long before you break the pistons...
anyhoo, a few things to think about
hey, i'll send ya postage money if you send me the GZE pistons so i can have snazzy paper weights  (seriously!!) oh, and i'd like to cut one up to see what the coating is like in an electron microscope 
Cya, Stewart
