Check the bore lower, that is above the rings, and should be fine, need to check just below that, half way down, and at the bottom of the piston stroke. You may find a taper, and that means maybe you can just hone, but most likely you bore it.

Looks like your off to a great start. If you really are going with a bigger turbo, and you have the engine appart, IMHO it is foolish not to go to the added expense of H beam rods. I'm a photo geek, and some times they help to make my point.
From my first build, OEM rods that had all stress risers removed, shot peened, cryo treated and balanced. The pistons are Ross Racing, ceramic tops with anodized skirts.

stuff happens on any tune...30K later and one big detonation...

I agree, i talked to lucky about it, and he says the stock rods and pistons is enough for the 19T with a good tune, so i will do it that way. Nice picture of our piston on the engine block.

BTW what tune and turbo were you using to bend the rods like that?.
