Dude your looking for a needle in a hay stack.....
I had to get custom ones made and they took over 6 months to make..... also getting custom rods.... but I don't think you will have much luck finding pistons as the engine is becoming rare to find parts for, coz most of the performance shops didn't decide to build performance bits for the 1g.... god knows why? but it kinda give me to the shits!!!!
Toyota would charge you a shit load so I wouldn't even bother with them....
I have only even found a bolt on single turbo exhaust mainfold from the HKS/Trust catalogue, but that was a bit of a rip as well....
The bottom line is that they need to make more parts for this engine so people can decide to upgrade parts... instead of focusing on the new engine that cost a shit load to build up.... which doesn't really suit the budget builders which most of us are!!!
------------------------------------ MAKE MORE 1GGTE ATFERMARKET PARTS FOR ALL OF US WOULD AND IT WILL MAKE LIFE EASIER.......... ALL THESE DAMN gemini's they are still making parts for crappy engines, so why not for our long forgetten 1g's

Yeah... engine is coming along ok..... still need to do more research on the tyurbos... but most likely to go twin TO4's or one single T76, all depends on how much the compression the engine is making and if they got more than 2 litres out of the 1g... hopefully on the road by the end of the year... ??
