I an looking for pistons for my turbo setup and i found this:

Way cheaper then JE. How much do you think they will hold upp for whith eagle rods?

Any thoughts or ideas regarding this setup?

Going to get a smaller turbo + nitrous. hoping for 250-300hp

I would make sure you get rings and wrist pins as well. I don't think those come with them. Hypereutectic will be stronger than cast, but not as strong as forged like CP, Wiseco, or JE

Hypereutectic are good for N/A motors, but they still won't put up with near the punishment that forged will. Forged is actually softer metal, so it will bend (slightly) instead of cracking in adverse conditions.
