Thumbs up d16 turbo

my cousin was telling me that if you wanted a cheap way to get ok reinforced pistons that you could probably find them out of a suzuki grand vitara or something like that.....
i was just wondering if that would be a good way to go or just to spend the money on something else....

I have heard of people using the grand vitara piston for turbo applications, I guess they work, I personally would get aftermarket forged pistons, but if it's a very low budget project, I'd say give them a whirl.
