Hello everyone, I'm running into a brick wall on my project Turbo Cavalier, again! I am trying to find a place that sells the Mahle Pistons for the TGP. The only rebuild kit I can find is from www.northernautoparts.com and they don't list having MAHLE, only Federal Mogul. Heres the kit list:
Chevy 3.1-V Turbo 89-90 - Master Kit
INCUDES
Federal Mogul Rings
Federal Mogul recessed head Piston
Federal Mogul Rod Mains
Federal Mogul Main Brgs
Clevite Cam Brgs
Melling Oil Pump
Federal Mogul Camshaft
Federal Mogul Lifters
Pioneer Frost Plugs
Victor Gaskets
Any sugestions on th Federal Mogul pistons, are they any good in comparison to the Mahle pistons? Any places online i can order MAHLE? Thanks for any help guys, you guys have been a great resource. Oh and TGPilot, looks like I might be getting you my MEMCal to erase...I'll let you know as soon as I get to the ECM part of my project.....Thanks again for the help guys...!!!! DOM
Any local machine/engine shop should be able to get those for you.

Thanks for the info eclipse, I went to Mahle's website and couldnt find any info on local distributors and warehouses....until about 30 minutes later...after digging through their links I found 2 local shops I'll call tomorrow to see if they can get me the TGP pistons....thanks again.
I can most definitely get them.
The Mahle pistons are far better than the FM's. Next to forged there is nothing better.
try www.mahle.com and see if there is a distributor located near you or one that has orders online. They supply most of the OE piston requirements that I have seen, but don't seem to be really big in the 'standard' aftermarket.
